Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS Common Stock (TKC) : juste valeur

Thèse ACCE

Turkcell is Turkey's largest mobile operator, selling prepaid and postpaid mobile plans, fixed broadband, and fintech and digital services such as its Paycell payments business. Its moat is scale in a three-operator Turkish market, where it holds the largest subscriber base and the strongest network position, which has kept it the leading earner in its home market. Revenue growth is only 2.5%, and the trailing P/E of 9.4 sits well below the forward P/E of 31.1, a gap that signals analysts expect earnings to fall or to be depressed by one-off effects, so the near-term catalyst is whether margins recover from the current 0.0% operating margin. The stock is cheap on trailing earnings and carries 4.3 billion dollars of market value, but the 6.8% ROE and absent index membership mean the case rests on a margin recovery that the data does not yet show. A deeper look should start with the reconciliation between trailing and forward earnings and with Turkish inflation accounting, which drives reported figures in lira.
