Strauss Group (TASE:STRS) is preparing a special call on 15 October 2026 to outline its 2027 to 2030 plan, a long-range update that could reshape how investors view the stock.
The recent pullback, with a 1 day share price return of down 5.25% to ₪115.5 and a 7 day share price return of down 2.70%, comes after a 1 month share price return of 3.59% and a year to date gain of 6.45%. Total shareholder return sits at 29.89% over 1 year and 70.78% over 3 years, which suggests long term holders in Strauss Group have seen stronger rewards even as short term momentum has cooled ahead of the 2027 to 2030 update.

Preferred P/E of 22.1x: Is it justified for Strauss Group?
Strauss Group trades on a P/E of 22.1x, which prices the stock well above the broader Asian Food industry while still sitting below closer peers.
The P/E ratio compares the current share price to earnings per share and gives you a quick sense of how much investors pay for each unit of profit. For a consumer staples business like Strauss Group, where demand often leans toward everyday spending rather than big cycles, this measure is a common way to benchmark expectations for future profitability.
Here the picture is mixed. Earnings have grown by 6.7% per year over the past 5 years, yet profit fell 4.4% over the past year and net profit margins moved down from 8.6% to 7.8%. That combo suggests the market is paying a premium multiple while recent profitability trends have softened, which can mean investors are willing to look through near term pressure.
Compared with the Asian Food industry average P/E of 14.4x, Strauss Group trades on a much richer multiple, which implies the market is valuing its earnings more highly than many regional peers. Against a peer group average of 28.1x, the same 22.1x P/E looks lower, so relative to that set of stocks the pricing looks more restrained even if it is not cheap in absolute terms.

Result: Price-to-earnings of 22.1x (OVERVALUED).
Still, the premium P/E leaves little room for disappointment if Strauss Group faces weaker consumer demand or pressure on its already tight net profit margins.
