Why consensus could be wrong
The Street may be underestimating Turkcell's potential for subscriber recovery due to recent investments in network infrastructure.
Supporting evidence

Recent trends in the telecommunications sector show increased demand for mobile services.
Options pricing suggests that investors are anticipating significant changes, indicating potential for positive surprises.
Key risk
If subscriber growth exceeds 5%, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.
Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
The core debate this quarter revolves around Turkcell's ability to attract and retain subscribers while effectively monetizing them.
Bull confirmed if
A subscriber growth rate above 5% would confirm the bull case.
Bear confirmed if
A continued decline in ARPU below $10 would confirm the bear case.
