Oba Makarnacilik Sanayi ve Ticaret (IBSE:OBAMS)

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Oba Makarnacilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. is a company that produces and sells pasta both in Turkey and internationally, with a market cap of TRY18.43 billion.

Operations: Oba Makarnacilik generates revenue primarily from its food processing segment, amounting to TRY20.95 billion.

Oba Makarnacilik, a small player in the food industry, has recently turned profitable, which is noteworthy given the industry's 15% earnings contraction. The company's price-to-earnings ratio of 9.2x suggests it might be undervalued compared to Turkey's market average of 14.6x. Despite its profitability and high-quality earnings, Oba faces challenges with interest coverage as EBIT covers only 0.9 times its debt payments—below the ideal threshold of three times. Additionally, being added to the S&P Global BMI Index could enhance visibility and attract more investors moving forward.
