Expert Note (Aylin Güneş): This week’s activity signals a pivotal restructuring of balance sheets on BIST. High‑value debt issuances by AZTEK, ASUZU, and GARFA reflect a strategy to fund growth projects and enhance liquidity. The cessation of IZMDC's buy‑back program suggests a shift toward cash distribution, potentially supporting short‑term share price. Rating upgrades (RYSAS, AA+) ease risk perception, while downgrades (INDES) warrant caution. Investors should closely monitor capital‑raise calendars and IPO timelines to manage liquidity flows and price volatility effectively.
