Tupras: enjoying life in the margins (stays BUY)
We maintain our BUY on Tupras, with an updated 12M price target (PT) of TRY 276.0 (from TRY 84.9), offering 59.7% upside. We have prepared our latest forecasts based on a USD-denominated model, converted to a fixed TRY rate to meet the IAS 29 accounting standard. Refining margins remain above the mid-cycle averages, despite a downward trend in the last three years. The opportunities available for cheap Russian feedstock have reduced, but not disappeared. A solution to the Kirkuk pipeline issue would offer cheaper logistics, should it happen. Investments in renewable power, niche petrochemicals and biofuels, mean that cash for investments will rise, but the balance sheet should remain in net cash for the foreseeable future, in our view. Investments in renewables have accelerated and Tupras is aiming for 1.6GW of capacity by 2030E. We expect an EV/EBITDA of 2.6x for 2025E vs. 3.8x for its peers, on our estimates.Turkiye Petrol Rafinerileri is an energy and refining company based in Turkey.
