The values screen, explained · five checks, plain English

This security has not been fully scored against the values screen yet.

  • Business activity Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines — no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
  • Debt load Interest-bearing debt is of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
  • Interest-bearing cash Interest-bearing cash and securities are of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
  • Receivables Money owed to the company is of assets, above the 49% limit. Fail
  • Revenue purity of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line. Fail

Every security is read against two recognised standards: our stricter asset-based screen (ratios measured against total assets) and the more widely used market-value standard (measured against market capitalisation). Where they agree we say so plainly; where they part ways — almost always on the debt check — we show both readings and mark it, because that disagreement is the finding, not a fault. We report the score; you and your scholar make the call.

The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean

Turkish Online Retail Growth Hides Fragile Numbers

Every time a shopper in Istanbul clicks buy on a phone or a parent in Ankara orders toys, the transaction lands on a fast-expanding local platform that still cannot turn sales into profit. Revenue is rising 61 percent, yet margins sit at minus 7 percent and return on equity has collapsed to minus 273 percent. A forward multiple of 0.7 times looks tempting until the losses and negative equity show the figure is not a bargain but a warning of peak-cycle earnings.

We pass because the ethical screen returns insufficient data and the reported ratios are too thin to judge governance or long-term viability. The business sits in a consumer-cyclical corner where rapid top-line growth often reverses when currency or demand shifts. Three analysts call it a buy with a three-dollar target, yet the numbers we can see point to a classic value trap rather than an overlooked compounder.

Currency swings, thin domestic liquidity and an unknown competitive moat add layers of risk that the low multiple does not price away. Until fuller financial and governance detail appears, the margin of safety stays on paper only. Analysis, not advice.

The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; it already moves more than the market on an average day; its business and earnings are exposed to Turkey and to currency swings; it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
