Analysis

Karsan Otomotiv Sanayii ve Ticaret A.S. (KARSN) currently trades at 9.78 TRY, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 9.44 TRY, implying the stock looks roughly 3.5% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 46/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Karsan Otomotiv Sanayii ve Ticaret A.S. generated revenue of 19.4B TRY at a net margin of 3.2%. Revenue grew 139.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.0%. Net debt stands at 7.2B TRY. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 5.20 TRY (bear case) to 13.24 TRY (bull case); at 9.78 TRY, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 36% below its 52-week high and 9% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 12% fair-value upside, at -3%, KARSN screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
