Turkish Telcos - M/T FCF Pressure, L/T Upside Intact

Buy on both Türk Telekom and Turkcell; valuation discounts remain compelling, but FCF is the swing factor: On our 2026 estimates, Türk Telekom trades at 3.5x EV/EBITDA (c.30% discount to EM peers) while Turkcell trades at 3.3x EV/EBITDA (c.34% discount). For reference, we calculate 2026 P/E of 8.9x for Türk Telekom and 10.8x for Turkcell, implying 22% and 5% discounts respectively to EM peers; however, we do not view P/E as a primary valuation metric at this stage, given both companies are in an...

Turkish Non-life Insurance Sector - Robust Earnings Despite Rate Cuts

Investor sentiment on the non-life insurance sector has cooled and sector multiples have derated, as Turkey’s easing cycle has progressed. However, we believe this pessimism is overdone.

We forecast strong ROEs in 2026, which warrants a higher P/BVs for the sector. Importantly, non-life insu...
