Published on 10/31/2026 at 00:19 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSProfit pressure meets revenue growth
- Revenue increased in the first nine months of 2026, while net income declined from the prior-year period.
- Third-quarter profit came in below both the median and average analyst estimates.
- Higher EBITDA provided an offset as investors assess the quality of the group's growth.
Tab Gida stock is in focus after the Turkish quick-service restaurant operator reported higher revenue but weaker profit for the first nine months of 2026. The results, published for the January 1 to September 30 period, showed that sales growth did not translate into comparable net-income growth.
According to CNBCE, revenue reached 48.74 billion Turkish lira in the first nine months, up from 44.34 billion Turkish lira a year earlier. Net income was 2.48 billion Turkish lira, compared with 3.2649 billion Turkish lira in the same period of 2025.
Quarterly profit misses expectations
Third-quarter net income came to 628.7 million Turkish lira. That was below the 749 million Turkish lira median estimate and the 810.6 million Turkish lira average forecast from a seven-institution survey cited by CNBCE. The shortfall puts profitability, rather than top-line expansion, at the center of the investment debate.
Operating profit for the nine-month period declined to 3.26 billion Turkish lira from 3.41 billion Turkish lira a year earlier. EBITDA, however, rose to 10.15 billion Turkish lira from 9.23 billion Turkish lira, indicating that operating performance was more resilient than reported net income.
Multi-brand restaurant platform
TAB Gida operates and franchises quick-service restaurants in Turkey and selected international markets under brands including Burger King, Popeyes, Arby's, Sbarro, Subway, Usta Dönerci and Usta Pideci. The company also supports its restaurant network with digital ordering and delivery services, according to its corporate website. In the Turkish listed food-service and hospitality peer set cited by Simply Wall St, the company is compared with Büyük ?efler G?da, Net Holding and Kustur Ku?adas?.
