Türk Telekom Raises Its Full-Year 2025 Targets
Türk Telekom has announced that, buoyed by sales and profitability gains in the first half of 2025, it has upwardly revised its full-year 2025 expectations.

For the six months to date, revenues reached TRY 98.8 billion—up 15.7% versus the same period last year (note: consistent with your source).
