09/25/2025 – 06:03 AM

ISTANBUL – Marti Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: MRT), the dominant player in Türkiye’s burgeoning mobility super-app scene, announced today its inclusion in the S&P Global Broad Market Index (BMI), effective Monday, September 22, 2025. This move signals a growing investor confidence in the company’s long-term prospects and its strategic approach to capturing the Turkish mobility market.

Oguz Alper Oktem, Founder and CEO of Marti, stated, “Joining the S&P Global BMI is a validation of our efforts in building a robust ride-hailing business, expanding our operational footprint, and accelerating monetization. We anticipate that this inclusion will broaden our reach to both passive index-tracking funds and active investors seeking exposure to the dynamic Turkish economy.”

The S&P Global BMI is a widely respected benchmark, covering over 14,000 companies across both developed and emerging markets. Its rules-based and transparent methodology provides investors with a reliable indicator of global market performance. Marti’s inclusion reflects its increasing market capitalization and liquidity, meeting the index’s stringent eligibility criteria. The index inclusion provides increased visibility to global investors, potentially leading to greater trading volume and liquidity for Marti’s stock. This is particularly significant for a company operating in a high-growth, yet sometimes volatile, emerging market like Türkiye.

Marti: An Overview

Founded in 2018, Marti has rapidly established itself as Türkiye’s leading mobility super-app. The company operates a multi-modal platform offering a comprehensive suite of transportation options, including ride-hailing services (connecting users with cars, motorcycles, and taxis) and a large fleet of shared e-mopeds, e-bikes, and e-scooters. This diversified approach allows Marti to cater to a wide range of consumer needs and preferences within the complex urban landscape of Türkiye.

Beyond its diverse service offerings, Marti leverages proprietary software systems and IoT infrastructure to optimize its operations. This includes real-time data analytics for fleet management, dynamic pricing algorithms to maximize utilization, and advanced security features to ensure user safety. The company’s technological prowess is a key differentiator in a competitive market where efficiency and user experience are paramount.

Analysts Take

Analysts at several firms are cautiously optimistic about Marti’s future. While the Turkish economy presents inherent risks, Marti’s strong market position, technological capabilities, and diversified business model offer a degree of resilience. The S&P Global BMI inclusion is seen as a positive catalyst, potentially attracting institutional investors who were previously restricted from investing in the company.

Looking ahead, Marti will likely focus on further expanding its service offerings, deepening its market penetration in existing cities, and exploring strategic partnerships to enhance its ecosystem. The competitive landscape is evolving rapidly, particularly with global ride-hailing giants eyeing the Turkish market. Marti’s ability to innovate and adapt will be crucial to maintaining its leadership position.
