Ford Otosan: getting ready to fire on all cylinders (upgraded to BUY)

We upgrade Ford Otosan to BUY (from Hold) and raise our 12M price target (PT) to TRY 1,554 (from TRY 905.5). We believe that investors have partially reflected the effects of new vehicle launches in the share price and adopted a conservative stance on the company’s cash flow generation. Our investment case remains unchanged, and we believe that Ford Otosan is well positioned to benefit from the ongoing structural transformation of the European automotive market, by capitalising on its next-generation vehicle portfolio. Moreover, in line with our expectation of higher volumes and the completion of major investments, we see a pickup in free cash flow generation, starting in 2024E.
