Coca-Cola İçecek: to new horizons (stays BUY)

We reiterate our BUY rating on Coca-Cola Içecek (CCI) and raise our 12M price target (PT) to TRY 975, from TRY 607.7. We have revised our model to reflect the effects of the inflation-accounting-based financials and also incorporated the recently-acquired Bangladesh operations. Our investment case has not changed, and we believe firmly that CCI will continue to record strong operating results in 2024E, thanks to its strong market positioning, pricing power and good execution. On valuation grounds, we believe that investors have partially factored in the positive expectations, as CCI trades at 5.7x of its 2024E EV/EBITDA, indicating a 24% discount to the median multiple of the global peers.
