Zeynep Turan – Consumer Finance & Mortgage Strategy Analyst: Koç Holding’s quarterly performance underscores robust energy and automotive pillars while a high debt‑to‑EBITDA ratio is mitigated by a solid cash buffer. The dip in financial services profitability and the slowdown in durable‑goods sales signal potential upward pressure on consumer loan rates and mortgage costs. Lenders should reassess pricing and fee structures to safeguard borrowers in this evolving landscape.
