We have left behind one of the toughest quarters ever. USDTRY jumped by 31% to 6.0 q-q, significantly impairing P/Ls of FX-indebted companies. Bankruptcy protection calls and loan restructuring applications surged due to weaker TRY and damage to consumer demand. The PMI collapsing from 52% to 47% q-q is the first sign of an inevitable GDP contraction in 3Q18E.
In this tough operating environment, we expect non-financials to post better operating results than the banks as a big chunk of heavyweight corporates are exporters and have priced their products in hard currency or are doing business outside of Turkey. However, we expect FX losses and elevated financial expenses to drag bottomlines y-y.
