Palo Alto Networks has been added to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange’s flagship indices, the TA-35 and TA-125, marking a significant expansion of the cybersecurity firm’s presence in the Israeli market.

The inclusion is expected to generate approximately NIS 800 million in demand from exchange-traded funds and other index-tracking vehicles that must rebalance their portfolios to reflect the change.

The move comes shortly after Palo Alto Networks reported better-than-expected fiscal third-quarter earnings, which drove a 12% surge in its shares.

Inclusion in the TA-35 and TA-125 is a strategic step for Palo Alto Networks, reinforcing its ties to Israel, a global hub for cybersecurity innovation.
