Turkcell - Superb Data Monetization

We have made some substantial changes to our operating estimates for Turkcell after the company's impressive performance in 1H17. We are increasing our target price to TRY16.07 per share and upgrading our recommendation to a BUY. On our revised estimates, the stock trades at a favorable 2018E EV/EBITDA of 5.1 and P/E of 11.6, discounts of 15% and 23% to peers. We think the market does not fully appreciate how successfully the company has been able to capitalize on the rapid rise in data consumption in Turkey. Moreover, after the Sonera stake sale, the overhang risk is now a thing of the past. While a fine may result from the recently initiated tax investigation into the sector, the stock has underperformed the BIST 100 by 4% since the news emerged, so the risk should be mostly priced in.
