Delta Galil Industries, the Israeli clothing manufacturer, is planning on holding an initial public offering IPO, on Wall Street. Bloomberg reported that Delta Galil expects as much as a $2 billion valuation from the offering. In August, the company first revealed plans to file for an IPO with the SEC.
Bloomberg cited that figure based on what “sources at the company” told the publication. Delta Galil is currently traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange TAS. But its market cap today is only about $1.3 billion, so the company must have a high opinion of its value today. And it has had a great third quarter of 2021 on the TASE, with its share price rising 19% over the last three months.

It is not uncommon for a company that is already listed on a smaller local exchange in its country of origin to later on add a listing on a major exchange abroad, like the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ. Delta Galil was once traded on the NASDAQ, but the company was delisted in 2008. Delisting from an exchange is not necessarily a sign of a corporate failure. Many companies over the years have chosen to go private once again.

In August, Delta Galil reported that it has a very strong Q2 2021. The company’s overall sales and net income continued to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
