What Ituran Location and Control does

Israeli company providing stolen-vehicle recovery, tracking and fleet telematics services, mainly in Israel and Brazil.

Charges a recurring monthly fee for tracking and recovery service, with devices and installation sold up front, and insurers value it because recovered vehicles lower their claims. The ongoing subscription base, not device sales, is the steadier part.

Products and services

  • Stolen-vehicle recovery/tracking
  • Fleet telematics/management
  • Usage-based insurance data

Customers

  • Vehicle owners/insurers in Israel and Brazil
  • Fleet operators

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Communication services
  • Telematics/IoT services
  • Vehicle tracking and fleet telematics

What could go right

  • Brazil/Latin America subscriber growth

What could go wrong

  • Israel/Brazil geopolitical and currency risk
  • Competition from smartphone-based tracking apps

Moat: narrow (installed base, regulatory licence, network effects). A large installed subscriber base and integration with insurers/police create switching costs.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
