Tekfen Holding (TKFEN TI) - Weak contracting outlook: Downgrading to Hold

In this report, we incorporate our weak contracting outlook and updated macro view into our forecasts. Accordingly, we cut our 12M TP by 42% to TRY14.68 and downgrade our call to HOLD from Buy. Based on a significant decline in its net cash position and a muted contracting outlook, we think investor appetite for the stock would be limited.

Tekfen reported a net loss of TRY15m in 3Q20, lower than BNPPe/RT consensus estimate of a profit of TRY18m/TRY189m. EBITDA (excl. profit from affiliates) of TRY10m undershot our estimate of TRY125m and RT consensus estimate of TRY251m, driven by the loss-making projects of the contracting division.
