Yeni Gimat Gayrimenkul Yatirim Ortakligi, a relatively small player in the Retail REITs sector, has seen its earnings grow at an impressive 65% annually over the last five years. Despite this growth, recent performance indicates some challenges; third-quarter sales jumped to TRY 904 million from TRY 216 million year-on-year, yet net income fell sharply to TRY 564 million from TRY 2.48 billion.
