Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. (ADR) (TKC)

Has the advantage of over 25% cash to spend which puts this great divy yeilding stock in a strong position.

I currently own this stock.

Dominant player in a developing/emerging economy with plans to expand in eastern europe. It is also an interesting tech/growth stock which actually pays dividends.

From the land of Byzantium, this telecommunications giant sports healthy profit margins and lots of cold, hard cash. Two billion dollars to be exact, which they use to pay a sweet 4.4% dividend yield. A solid buy under $15.

Low PE, high yielding stock providing mobile telecom services in Turkey.

Is at its 52 week high.
Number portability among Telecom providers in Turkey is just starting and it has a strong competitor (Vodafone) now.

population and economic growth to exceed US

Although I don't think the prospects are as rosy as others do (cell phone use in turkey is already at 92% although Turkcell has room to grow with something like 56% market share) I do think it will outcompete and provide a nice dividend. Also they will probably make money as the country switches to 3G.

Expanding market while negotiating network expansion.

Sane ego te vocavi. forsitan capedictum tuum desit - I did call. Maybe your answering machine is broken.
I think if I lived in Turkey I would want a cell phone. Maybe they are like me.
TKC seems to have very solid financials. They pay a nice dividend. They have little long term debt. They have a very attractive return on equity. There are still a lot of prospects who are not yet using cell phones in Turkey. TKC presents a nice opportunity for growth and safety.

2.9B in Cash and equivalents with $780mm in debt. The company was just awarded 3G lines for Belarus which makes good on their acquisition last year of BEST. To have this type of liquidity in this environment is quite impressive. Turkey and Eastern Europe will provide Turkcell long term growth opportunities.

I'm long IRL at about $13. Don't know why I haven't added this yet. This is a value play and a growth play in one of the most exciting economies for growth. They have something like 92% market penetration in a country where only like 15% of potential customers use a telecom service. Can't remember the numbers exactly, but this should be at least a triple bagger over the next few years.

Turkey is the only truly modern nation in the region, and their economy is dynamic and growing. Although Egypt and Iran are also large economies, Turkey is best-positioned to be a regional power. This company is ready to capitalize on the nation's growing wealth.
