Vulcan Value Partners stated the following regarding Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (NASDAQ:ITRN) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

"Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (NASDAQ:ITRN) provides stolen vehicle recovery services, primarily in Israel, Brazil, and other parts of Latin America and was a material contributor during the quarter and year. Using a device installed in the car, Ituran is able to detect when a vehicle has been stolen, notify law enforcement, and assist in the locating and recovery of the vehicle. Ituran’s customers include auto OEMs, individual drivers, and insurance companies. 70% of its revenue comes from ongoing subscriptions. Ituran performed well in 2025, with YTD revenue up +5%, while the EBITDA margin has contracted slightly due to currency headwinds. In May, the company announced a major agreement with Stellantis, which covers multiple countries in South America over a multiyear period. In November, they announced a new 3-year agreement with Renault in Latin America. We continue to like Ituran’s business and believe it trades at a substantial discount to intrinsic value."
