Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (NASDAQ: ITRN) has announced a cash dividend distribution of $10 million for the second quarter of 2025. The Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.50 per share, payable on October 10, 2025, net of a 25% tax rate [1].

The current average analyst rating is "buy," with no "hold" or "sell" recommendations. The median 12-month price target for Ituran is $47.00, which represents a potential upside of 12.3% from its current price of $41.23 [2].

Ituran's subscriber base has been growing significantly, reaching over 2.5 million users as of the end of 2025. The company's strong position in the emerging mobility technology field, particularly in Israel and Latin America, continues to drive its growth. With approximately 2,800 employees worldwide, Ituran is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for location-based services and telematics solutions.
