Executive Summary
Kardemir is trading at 30.06 TRY, comfortably above its 20‑day (≈29.36) and 50‑day (≈28.30) SMAs but still below the 200‑day SMA (≈32.78), indicating short‑term momentum but a longer‑term downtrend. Technical signals are mixed: RSI sits at 55.5 (neutral) while the MACD histogram is positive, suggesting a modest bullish bias, yet the stock is approaching a near‑term resistance around 31.5 TRY and a support level near 26.06 TRY.
Fundamentally the picture is far less encouraging: the company posted a negative profit margin (‑0.07%), a trailing EPS of ‑0.03, and a staggering debt‑to‑equity ratio of 15, with free cash flow deep in the red (‑8.5 B TRY) despite modest operating cash generation. The price‑to‑book ratio of 0.54 signals a discount to book value, but the DCF‑derived fair value (≈4.9 TRY) implies severe overvaluation relative to earnings prospects. High 30‑day volatility (≈50%) and a historic max drawdown of ‑57% add to the risk profile, even though beta is low (≈0.19).
