Turkcell reports 6.7 billion lira third-quarter profit
Turkish telecom company Turkcell reported 6.7 billion lira in net profit for the third quarter of 2026.
Its revenue reached 82 billion lira, up 6.2% from the same period a year earlier and above analyst expectations.
Profit was 3.8% lower than a year earlier, but higher than analysts had expected, helped by a swing in monetary-position results and lower tax expenses.
Operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation rose 6.8% to 36.2 billion lira, also beating expectations.
Turkcell Türkiye had 45.3 million subscribers, and the company added 579,000 mobile customers during the quarter as its mobile customer loss rate fell.
Turkcell expects 2026 price changes to have a clearer effect from the fourth quarter on average revenue per user and consumer revenue.
