Investors eye new public offerings on Borsa Istanbul
Investor attention has turned to companies preparing to list on Borsa Istanbul after Türkiye’s Capital Markets Board (SPK) approved the initial public offerings of five companies with a combined size of 12.2 billion Turkish Liras ($262 million).
The number of companies receiving IPO approval in the first half of the year has already surpassed the total number of public offerings recorded in all of last year. A total of 18 companies completed IPOs in 2025, raising 45 billion liras in proceeds. Since the beginning of 2026, the SPK has approved the public offerings of 17 companies and five additional approvals were granted last week. With these latest approvals, the number of IPOs approved this year has risen to 22.
According to SPK data, the total proceeds expected to be generated from the 22 public offerings approved during the first six months of the year are projected to reach 39.3 billion liras. Market participants are now closely monitoring the companies that are preparing to launch their offerings and begin trading on the stock exchange.
Information published in the SPK’s latest weekly bulletin showed that the regulator approved the public offering applications of Orzaks İlaç, Ekim Turizm, Soho Giyim, İsvea Seramik and Golda Gıda. The approvals marked the latest step in a year that has already seen a significant number of companies receive permission to access capital markets through public offerings.
