Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What is the subscriber growth rate for this quarter?

Subscriber growth is crucial for Turkcell's revenue and overall market position, and any significant change could impact investor sentiment.

How does the company plan to address its declining EBITDA margins?

Margins are a key indicator of profitability; if they continue to decline, it could signal deeper operational issues.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating Turkcell's potential for subscriber growth due to recent investments in network infrastructure.

Supporting Evidence

Options are pricing in a 25.35% move, indicating expectations of volatility that may not materialize if growth is stable.

Turkcell's recent focus on digital services could attract new subscribers, contrary to the bearish outlook.

Key Risk

If subscriber growth exceeds 3%, it could challenge the current negative sentiment.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels
