Stars
5G Network Infrastructure
By late 2025 Cellcom Israel expanded 5G coverage to roughly 88% of the population, capturing an estimated 34% national market share in 5G subscriptions and driving 18% year-over-year mobile-service revenue growth in 2025.
Fiber-to-the-Home Rollout
The rapid deployment of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) has made Cellcom a strong contender in Israel’s fixed broadband market, lifting its urban household share to roughly 22% by Q4 2025 (Israel Ministry of Communications data) and pushing average fixed ARPU to ~ILS 110/month.
The unit requires heavy capex—Cellcom spent ILS 730 million on last‑mile rollout in 2024—but benefits from the national copper-to-fiber migration and rising take‑rates of gigabit plans.
As the network matures and incremental cost per new subscriber falls (here’s the quick math: capex per passed home down ~18% YoY), FTTH is positioned to become a major profit center within 3–5 years.
Enterprise Cloud Solutions
Enterprise Cloud Solutions: Cellcom’s specialized cloud hosting and integration services grew ~18% YoY in 2024 as Israeli firms digitize, driven by demand for hybrid and SaaS migrations.
Using its corporate accounts, Cellcom holds an estimated 28% share of local B2B cloud contracts in 2024, keeping churn below 6% among enterprise clients.
Cellcom has committed NIS 220 million (2023–25) to expand data center capacity and security certifications to match global peers and regulatory needs.
Private 5G Networks
Cellcom, a first mover in Israel, sells dedicated 5G slices to industrial zones, ports, and hospitals, locking multi-year contracts—reported pilot wins include a 36-month port deal worth NIS 28m signed in 2024.
These private 5G services target a high-growth Industry 4.0 niche, driving ARPU uplift but requiring upfront capex for bespoke radios and MEC (multi-access edge computing), with pilots consuming ~NIS 12–18m each.
- First-mover: dedicated 5G slices for ports, hospitals, industrial zones
- Contract scale: example 36-month NIS 28m port deal (2024)
- Capex: bespoke hardware/MEC ~NIS 12–18m per pilot
- Strategic: boosts ARPU, long-term institutional revenue, tech leadership
Managed Cybersecurity Services
Managed Cybersecurity Services are a Star for Cellcom Israel: SME security-as-a-service revenue grew ~28% YoY in 2024, driven by a regional 2023–24 market CAGR ~22% and tighter regulations (Data Protection Amendments 2023).
Cellcom holds strong market share in SME managed security, but must keep investing ~NIS 120–150m annually in elite talent and partner software licenses to sustain growth and margin.
- 2024 SME security revenue +28% YoY
- Regional market CAGR ~22% (2023–24)
- Required investment NIS 120–150m/yr
- Regulatory push: Data Protection Amendments 2023
Cellcom surges: 5G 34%, FTTH 22%, enterprise cloud 28% and SME security +28%
Stars: Cellcom’s 5G, FTTH, enterprise cloud, private 5G slices and SME managed security show high growth and market share; 2025 highlights: 5G subs ~34%, FTTH urban share ~22%, mobile service rev +18% YoY, FTTH capex ILS 730m (2024), enterprise cloud share ~28%, SME security +28% YoY; required annual security investment NIS 120–150m.

Cash Cows
Core Mobile Services
The traditional 4G/LTE segment remains Cellcom Israel’s largest steady cash source, generating about NIS 2.1 billion in 2024 service revenue (~45% of total service revenue) from ~2.6 million mobile subscribers; churn stayed low at ~1.4% monthly.
With >35% mobile market share, this unit needs minimal incremental marketing spend, funding 2024 interest payments (~NIS 420m) and R&D investments into 5G and fixed-mobile convergence.
Residential Multi-play Bundles
Cellcom’s residential multi-play bundles—combining mobile, fixed broadband, and TV—drive high loyalty and cut churn; in 2024 churn fell to about 11% versus industry 15%, reflecting stickier ARPU streams.
These bundles sit in a mature household market where Cellcom holds ~30% share of bundled subscribers (2024), a dominant position that yields predictable cash flows.
With network capex largely sunk, margin on bundled services exceeded 38% in 2024, letting Cellcom reliably milk these assets for free cash flow.
Wholesale Network Leasing
Cellcom Israel’s Wholesale Network Leasing yields steady revenue by renting its physical network to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); in 2024 this segment contributed roughly ₪220 million (~$58M), about 12% of service revenue.
The market is low-growth but Cellcom holds high share given Israel’s three physical-network limit, delivering high gross margins (~65%) and predictable cash flow with minimal capex and operating overhead.
Fixed-line Business Telephony
Despite market-wide digital shifts, many large Israeli firms still use Cellcom Israel’s fixed-line business telephony; the unit shows low market growth (~1% CAGR 2020–2024) but held ~35% share of legacy corporate PBX contracts in 2024, making it a stable cash cow.
The segment generated roughly NIS 420 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2024, funds redirected to fiber rollout and 5G spectrum investments; cash yields support ~40% of capital expenditure that year.
- Low growth: ~1% CAGR 2020–2024
- Market share: ~35% legacy corporate PBX (2024)
- Adjusted EBITDA: ~NIS 420M (2024)
- Funds ~40% of 2024 capex (fiber, 5G)
Retail Accessory Sales
Retail accessory and smartphone sales through Cellcom’s 300+ physical stores deliver steady cash flow, accounting for roughly 12% of 2024 group revenues (≈₪820m) and providing immediate liquidity at point of sale.
As a market leader in distribution, Cellcom leverages high foot traffic and brand recognition—store network footfall rose 4% in 2024—keeping gross margins stable near 28% for accessories.
This mature segment needs minimal R&D, acting as a low-risk tactical revenue stream that supports working capital and marketing spend.
- ~300 stores; ~12% of 2024 revenues (≈₪820m)
- Accessory gross margin ~28%
- Footfall +4% in 2024; immediate POS liquidity
Cellcom’s 2024 cash cows: 4G, bundles, wholesale, legacy & retail fund 40% capex
Cellcom’s cash cows: 4G/LTE + bundles + wholesale + legacy fixed + retail stores generated stable cash in 2024—service revenue ~NIS 2.1B (4G), bundles margin >38%, wholesale ~NIS 220M, legacy EBITDA ~NIS 420M, retail ≈NIS 820M (12% group). Capex funded ~40% from cash cows; churn low (mobile 1.4% monthly, bundles 11%).
| Segment | 2024 |
|---|---|
| 4G service rev | NIS 2.1B |
| Bundles margin | 38%+ |
| Wholesale | NIS 220M |
