The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially. As a result, high-dividend exposure is no longer a broad regional trade: the most compelling opportunities are now concentrated. However, the ...
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...
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...

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...

EME Equity Market – September 2025 Romanian BET led in September, while Türkiye and Hungary lagged. The MSCI EM Europe Index added 0.7% mom in EUR terms and 1.1% in USD terms. The Romanian BET was the top performer, adding 3.6% in EUR terms; followed by the Czech PX (+3.2% mom) and the Polish WIG20 (+1.1% mom) (all in EUR terms); while there was a muted performance from the Greek ASE (+0.6% mom in EUR terms).

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 ...

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 w...
