Abstract:

long with the supply-demand effect, factors such as the economic situation of the country, future expectations and the performance of the enterprises are quite effective in determining the stock price. In this context, it is aimed to reveal the relationship between the internal financial factors of airline businesses and the stock price. In practice, the annual internal data of 28 airline businesses covering the years 2005-2018 were analyzed using panel data and panel VAR analysis methods, and the internal (TA, FL, ATR, OPM and BV) factors that determine the stock price were determined. As a result of the panel data analysis applied, it was determined that the total assets variable had a positive effect on stock prices, while the financial leverage variable had a negative effect. According to the panel VAR causality results, bidirectional causality between the total asset variable and the stock price, one-way causality between the beta value and acid-test ratio variables and the stock price was determined. In summary, airlines can increase their stock value by taking advantage of economies of scale, optimizing the liquidity situation, and taking into account the negative impact of financial leverage.
