Insights

Institutional Ownership Analyst

Harel holds a measurable 5.2% stake in Gilat, largely in managed public client accounts.

The filing lists 3,873,305 Ordinary Shares beneficially owned, with 3,872,201 held for public clients by subsidiaries and 1,104 for the filer’s own account. The outstanding share base is 74,196,098 as of February 18, 2026.

Voting authority is reported as shared for the indicated shares because subsidiaries operate under independent management; the statement disclaims beneficial ownership for the majority of those client-held shares. Subsequent disclosures or amendments would clarify any change in voting or disposition control.

Corporate Governance Specialist

Registrant signals passive/investment-manager holdings rather than direct proprietary accumulation.

The filer explicitly states that most shares are managed for public clients by subsidiaries that make independent voting and investment decisions, and that only 1,104 shares are held for the filer’s own account. This attribution affects how the stake is interpreted for control analyses.

For governance impact, note the shared voting and dispositive power reported; any change in voting arrangements or transfers would require updated filings.
