TURKEY TELECOMS - Opex on a tight leash
In the 3Q19 results announced by Turkey’s telecom players, Turk Telekom and Turkcell, while Turkcell’s results were pretty much in-line with RT consensus and our estimates, Turk Telekom’s results were ahead of both our and RT consensus estimates. In terms of post results guidance, while Turkcell maintained its 2019 guidance, Turk Telekom increased its 2019 EBITDA guidance. In the short term, we expect positive market reaction to Turk Telekom’s upbeat 3Q19 results and guidance revision but expect no major impact from the 3Q19 results on Turkcell’s share price performance.
