Fitch Ratings has affirmed Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S's (Tcell) Long-Term Foreign Currency Issuer Default Rating (LTFC IDR) at 'BB-' with a Stable Outlook, also affirming its senior unsecured instrument rating at 'BB-'. The affirmation reflects Tcell's strong financial profile, leading market share in Turkish mobile, growing fiber broadband customer base, and moderate leverage, despite the constraint of Turkiye's 'BB-' Country Ceiling. The company effectively navigates high inflation through price adjustments and strategic investments in solar energy to manage energy costs, though increased capex is expected to lead to negative free cash flow in the near term.
