Aselsan: BUY on improved risk/reward profile (upgraded to BUY)

Following Aselsan’s strong backlog additions recently (reaching USD 3.3bn in late-October and exceeding our earlier expectations), and the significant depreciation of the TRY in 3Q18, we have revisited our valuation model, revising our KPI assumptions/earnings estimates, reflecting our higher WACC and FX assumptions. Our revised 12M price target (PT) of TRY 32.0/share is now 19% higher and offers 28% upside potential (based on conservative new contract assumptions in 2019E/20E), warranting an upgrade to a BUY rating (previously Sell).
