Opportunity for Investors: Stocks with Upside Potential

Expansion of Gains in Borsa İstanbul

The rise observed in Borsa İstanbul since the beginning of the year, initially led by large companies, has recently raised the possibility of a shift towards a broader set of stocks. This rally, driven by the defense industry and banking stocks, is increasing the tendency of investors to turn towards lesser-known stocks that have not yet drawn attention.

Selective Approach and Target Stocks

Selectivity is crucial for investors during this period. Stocks that have provided returns between 0% and 15% since the beginning of the year may initially appear to be left out of the rally, but this does not necessarily indicate a deterioration in the fundamentals of the companies. The increasing risk appetite in the overall index may create a foundation for these lagging names to capture more of the new fund flows.

Companies with less than 1% weight within the BIST 100 may have remained in the shadows alongside larger players. However, if the rise becomes more widespread, they could draw more attention. In this context, stocks with a high beta coefficient may have the potential for faster pricing as the index rises due to their sensitivity to market movements.

Importance of Beta Coefficient

Beta coefficient indicates the sensitivity of a stock to market movements. Stocks with a beta greater than 1 have a greater chance of gaining momentum during an upward trend of the index. Companies that have lagged but structurally have a high market sensitivity may attract investors' attention in the short term.

Conclusion and Investment Opportunities

In light of these evaluations, stocks that have remained outside the rally since the beginning of the year but possess a strong beta coefficient present potential investment opportunities. For investors, tracking these stocks could be an important strategy for diversifying their portfolios.
