Overview: Turcas Petrol A.S. is an oil and energy-focused investment company based in Turkey with a market capitalization of TRY6.31 billion.
Operations: Turcas Petrol A.S. generates revenue through its operations in the oil and energy sectors within Turkey.
Dividend Yield: 4.2%
Turcas Petrol offers a dividend yield of 4.18%, ranking it in the top 25% of Turkish dividend payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to inadequate free cash flow coverage. Despite a low payout ratio of 13.2%, cash payout issues persist with a high ratio of 134.5%. The company's dividends have grown over the past decade but remain volatile and unreliable. Turcas's P/E ratio at 6.3x suggests undervaluation compared to the market average.
