Turk Traktor - Offers Value Despite Newcomers

We reinitiate coverage of Turk Traktor with a BUY recommendation and target price of TRY99.50 per share, which offers 36% upside. Turk Traktor shares have underperformed the BIST 100 by 31% YTD on concerns over the profitability outlook and a shifting competitive landscape. This year has been challenging for Turk Traktor, as it compromised profitability to gain market share in 1H17. Yet ongoing robust tractor demand has enabled the company to partially pass on rising cost pressures stemming from the weak lira to its prices since 3Q17. We therefore expect the EBITDA margin recovery to continue in 2018. We also see a gradual pickup in global tractor demand, which should support the company's export sales over the medium term. At a 2018E EV/EBITDA of 8.0 and P/E of 10.4, the stock is trading at respective discounts of 34% and 44% to its peer group. We consider Turk Traktor to be an attractive value play at current levels.
