The debut of Saat and Saat Sanayi ve Ticaret Inc. (SSAAT) on the Istanbul Stock Exchange on July 16, 2026 injects fresh dynamism into Turkey's capital markets.
Trading Commencement and Reference Price
SSAAT will list at a TL 56 base price under the ticker SSAAT.E, trading continuously on the BIST.
Offering Size and Investor Demand
Trading Conditions and Allocation Cap
Dr. Aslıhan Demir: The SSAAT IPO introduces a new liquidity stream to the BIST 100, encouraging mid‑cap firms to raise capital. The 1.78‑times retail demand signals strong investor confidence, yet the TL 1 million order cap curtails large institutional positions, aiming to preserve price stability. This framework should dampen short‑term volatility while bolstering the depth of Turkey's equity market over the longer term.
