Top stocks after the first quarter of 2026 have been identified

After the first-quarter financial results of 2026 were finalized, the model portfolios offered to investors by brokerage firms have also taken shape. While BİM Birleşik Mağazalar (BIMAS) sits at the top of the list of most recommended stocks, other stocks that stand out with high return potential include Arçelik (ARCLK), Şok Marketler (SOKM), İş Finansal Kiralama (ISFIN), and Otokar (OTKAR).

As a result of model portfolio evaluations, the average expected return of the stocks in the baskets created by brokerage firms was calculated at 52.2 percent. Analysts emphasized that for some stocks, triple-digit potential earnings expectations are prominent. Sector representatives state that in a period where market volatility is expected to continue, companies with strong fundamental data, in particular, may come to the forefront for investors.

BİM, in particular, ranked first in reports due to its resilient business model and aggressive growth strategy. While Arçelik draws attention with the stable income it generates from both domestic and international operations, the performance of Şok Marketler was also highlighted as one of the primary stocks followed by investment experts.

The activity in İş Finansal Kiralama's sector and Otokar's defense industry-focused projects are also being closely monitored by institutions. These stocks, which have found a place in the aforementioned portfolios, appear set to remain on investors' radar throughout the remainder of 2026.
