Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The quarter confirms a diversified growth profile with improving leverage and sizable ink in 5G/fiber, plus a path to ARPU uplift as inflation-aligned pricing actions flow through. The 0.36x net debt/EBITDA ratio and USD debt exposure are manageable positives, while the cash decline is a near-term overhang that may be absorbed by continued EBITDA strength and capex discipline. Historically, Turkish telecoms showing stable EBITDA and improving ARPU trajectories tend to probate modest near-term upside in ADRs/foreign listings as FX risk is priced in later quarters.
