Model Portfolio Update - Removing Aygaz from our Model Portfolio
Following a very strong run and the partial normalization of the core valuation anomaly that underpinned our initial call, we have downgraded Aygaz to Hold from Buy and simultaneously remove it from our model portfolio, while retaining a constructive fundamental stance. Since the inclusion in our model portfolio, the shares are up 23% in USD, outperforming the BIST-100 by 22%. At the time of our rating upgrade, Aygaz’s participation portfolio (Tupras, Opet Aygaz REIC, United LPG, Sendeo) more t...

Aygaz - Relative upside compression following strong run. Downgrade to...
Downgraded to Hold on risk/reward normalization: Since our upgrade to Buy on 30 July 2025, Aygaz has delivered a 31% return in USD, outperforming the BIST-100 by 32% and Tupras by 12%. This has substantially eroded the relative valuation cushion. Our 12M TP of TL272/share is unchanged, but implied upside has compressed to 30%, versus 43% for our coverage universe and 40% for our ex-banks coverage. On a 12M rating basis, this moves Aygaz into Hold territory: we continue to like the name fundament...

Erdemir - UMREK confirms Alacahan resource; Value accretive yet core v...
Resource confirmation & scope: The UMREK-compliant disclosure confirms that Ermaden’s Alacahan project hosts a 14.9 Mt inferred resource grading 0.89 g/t Au, translating to 424 Koz contained gold. This is closely aligned with our May 2025 base-case assumption of a 15 Mt deposit grading 1.0 g/t Au (~480 Koz), a 12% delta in contained ounces. The grade is marginally lower but within the range expected for heap-leach–amenable oxide systems. Drilling coverage of 45 hectares—about 0.8% of the 5,804 h...

Aygaz - Buy re-iterated. Appealing valuation & favourable dividend yie...
Buy maintained; 12M roll-forward and TP raised: We maintain Buy and roll our 12M valuation to Dec-2026, lifting our TP 9% to TL272/share, implying 38% upside (Coverage: 43%; ex-bank Coverage: 37%). Shares have outperformed the BIST-100 by +9%/+18% over 1M/3M (+7%/+17% in USD). We keep Aygaz in our model portfolio, as earnings carry, balance-sheet strength, and look-through value continue to screen well on our cross-coverage stack. Valuation appeal with earnings support—still room to run: Despit...

Model Portfolio Update - Adding Aygaz to our Model Portfolio
Yesterday may have been about iPhone 17; today is about Aygaz where, even after a 10% holding discount, the participation portfolio now trades broadly at par with its market cap, leaving the core LPG franchise (including net cash of TL2.3bn) effectively priced at zero—an inefficiency we expect to mean-revert. We recently upgraded to Buy and the shares have outperformed the BIST-100 by c.5% since; we now add Aygaz to our model portfolio to reiterate our conviction. Near-term EPS is supported by ...

Aygaz - Core business valuation gyrates back to attractive following U...
Upgraded to Buy on improved relative valuation: We upgrade Aygaz to Buy (from Hold) with a revised 12-month target price of TL230/share (+23%), implying 50% upside potential. This follows a valuation refresh—including updated subsidiary assumptions and a shift in our valuation horizon to mid-2026. Our key argument centers on a compelling relative valuation reset: Aygaz has underperformed Tupras by 17% since our downgrade in January 2025, despite Tupras constituting approximately 68% of Aygaz’s t...

Conservative view on steel operations mainly due to weak FCF outlook, placing gold mining prospect into perspective, maintain Hold: We have updated our valuation (blended target 6.0x FY25E–FY26E EV/EBITDA (net debt adjusted)) and estimates for Erdemir, raising our 12M target price by 6% to TL30.1/share. This revision primarily reflects updated macro assumptions including FX and steel price forecasts. Our 12M TP implies a 26% upside potential yet remains below the 54% average upside across our no...

EM Credit Spark/EM credit weekly
The trade war de-escalation has offered some breathing space for investors and driven positive sentiment, but we expect headline volatility to continue. Much of the focus will also be on geopolitical developments. In this report we have reviewed a large number of Turkish non-financial corporates, added the idea to buy SGLSJ'29 and closed the idea to buy WE SODA.

EM Credit Spark/EM credit weekly and trade ideas update
The EM primary market has had an active start to 2025, with issuance so far being well absorbed by the market. We see the potential for some spread widening as more noise around Trump's policy measures comes out and more issuers look to take advantage of the early-year window for supply.
