The short answer

Harel Insurance Investments & Financial Services Ltd. filed a Schedule 13G on Oct 20, 2026, reporting 2,424,529 shares, 5.2% of the class of Elbit Systems (ESLT). The filing records ownership, not when shares were bought. Other public records include fund 13F position changes, short interest, and share-price moves.

What did Harel report in the filing?

The SEC Schedule 13G filed by Harel Insurance Investments & Financial Services Ltd. on Oct 20, 2026 reports 2,424,529 shares, 5.2% of the class of Elbit Systems (ESLT).

A Schedule 13G is an ownership filing, not a trade record. It does not say when the shares were bought.

What do other fund filings show?

Fund 13F filings recorded in the 90 days to Oct 20, 2026 show 4 new or larger positions and 1 smaller or closed position in Elbit Systems. For the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, Altshuler Shaham Ltd increased its position to 27,632 shares, and Phoenix Financial Ltd. increased its position to 139,289 shares.

Among the largest positions that shrank, Systematic Financial Management LP and Meitav Investment House Ltd sold out. A 13F is a quarter-end snapshot with no trade date.

What was reported about short interest?

FINRA short interest for ESLT on the settlement date of Sep 30, 2026 was 229,007 shares (-2.81% on the previous report), about 2.8 days of average volume. This is a separate market record from Harel’s ownership filing.

What news and share-price moves were listed around the filing?

Finnhub listed these Yahoo headlines dated Oct 19, 2026: “Elbit Systems Secures $235 Million European Defense Deal”, “Elbit Systems Wins $235M Contract To Supply Rocket Artillery Systems To European Customer: What Investors Need To Know”, and “Elbit Systems Awarded $235 Million Contract to Supply EXTRA-MR Rockets and PULS Launchers to a European Country”.

ESLT closed at $701.38 on Oct 14, 2026, the last session on or before the filing date. From Sep 14, 2026 to Oct 14, 2026, the close moved from $724.91 to $701.38, a change of −3.2%. From Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 19, 2026, the close moved from $701.38 to $759.47, a change of +8.3%. See Elbit Systems on OQRO.

What this does not tell you?

A Schedule 13D or 13G is an ownership filing, not a trade; it does not say when shares were bought. Share-price moves are context only: the filing does not explain them, and other news can move a price.

The headlines are listed as published by the outlets; OQRO has not checked them and does not summarise the articles. This describes public filings and is not investment advice.
