The Turkish capital‑markets continued their historic IPO rush throughout late July 2026. After Masfen Enerji’s 3.88 billion TL offering on 22 July, the Capital Markets Board (SPK) formally approved Quick Sigorta and Bewen Enerji on 23 July, authorising the sale of 48.3 million shares at 76.60 TL and 80 million shares at 48.10 TL respectively, raising roughly 3.7 billion TL and 3.8 billion TL. Proceeds are earmarked for expanding insurance capacity and financing wind‑farm projects. Kardemir Çelik completed a fully‑subscribed 4.48 billion TL IPO on 24 July, with demand 4.28‑times the supply. Allocation broke down to 40 % for individual domestic investors, 30 % for domestic institutions, 20 % for foreign institutions and 10 % for high‑demand investors, reflecting participation from over 800 000 investors. Masfen Enerji’s offering attracted a 4.98‑times oversubscription, drawing more than 1.12 million applications; the final issuance of 85 million shares at 45.68 TL each raised about 3.883 billion TL. Simultaneously, families of workers who died at Şa‑Ra Enerji and Europower Enerji staged protests, demanding that the newly raised capital address unresolved compensation claims. Quick Sigorta moved from approval to launch, issuing 48.3 million shares at 76.60 TL to raise roughly 3.7 billion TL. The insurer will list on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker “QUICK” on 6 August, with all proceeds earmarked for a capital increase to strengthen its balance sheet and support sustainable growth. Chairman Ahmet Yaşar emphasized that the funds will reinforce the company’s financial structure rather than benefit shareholders. ~~These developments underscore~~ On 30 July 2026 Masfen Enerji began trading on Borsa Istanbul’s Star Market under the ~~intensity of Turkey’s IPO surge, broad domestic and foreign investor appetite,~~ ticker MASFN after issuing 55 million new shares and ~~growing social tensions linked to the rapid influx of capital.~~ selling 30 million existing shares, raising 3.8828 billion TL.
