Press Release
Eltek Ltd. Reports Second-Quarter 2026 Results
Petach Tikva, Israel (August 18, 2026) Eltek Ltd. (NASDAQ: ELTK), a leading global manufacturer of high-quality printed circuit boards, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

Eli Yaffe, Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“Our second-quarter 2026 results reflected a loss as we remain in an important transition period focused on stabilizing our manufacturing operations and building the human and operational infrastructure required to support our next phase of growth. The stabilization of our production system and the integration of our new production lines are progressing, although the process is not yet complete.
We are well advanced in the implementation of our new ERP system, which we believe will provide a stronger foundation for managing and scaling our operations. We are also completing the installation of our newly arrived PCB plating line, while conducting acceptance testing in parallel, and expect to begin the qualification process during the third quarter.
Although the transition is not yet complete, we are making steady progress across the key areas of our business. We remain focused on completing the stabilization of our manufacturing operations, strengthening our organization and infrastructure and improving operational efficiency. We believe these steps are establishing a stronger foundation for improved operational and financial performance in the periods ahead.”
