Ihlas Holding (IBSE:IHLAS)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Ihlas Holding A.S. operates in construction and real estate, media, manufacturing and trading, and healthcare and education sectors both in Turkey and internationally, with a market cap of TRY1.72 billion.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its construction segment at TRY2.88 billion, followed by marketing at TRY2.58 billion, and media at TRY1.67 billion.

Market Cap: TRY1.72B

Ihlas Holding A.S. recently reported a net loss for the second quarter of 2024, despite sales growth to TRY1.87 billion. The company has experienced significant volatility due to one-off losses and shareholder dilution, with total shares outstanding increasing by 6%. Although Ihlas's short-term assets comfortably cover both its short- and long-term liabilities, its negative operating cash flow indicates debt is not well covered. Despite these challenges, the company's price-to-earnings ratio suggests it may be undervalued compared to the broader Turkish market. Management stability is notable with an average tenure of 12.8 years.
