Abstract:

Financial ratios are among the basic criteria that explain the financial structures and efficiency of companies. The main purpose of this research is to determine the financial efficiency of the transportation and storage sector companies in the BIST during the pandemic period with data envelopment analysis. In the research, 10 companies operating in the transportation and storage sector have been discussed. The output-oriented Charnes Cooper and Rhodes (CCR) Model has been used to determine the efficiency of the companies. The input and output criteria of the DEA model have been created from the ratio obtained from the financial statements of the companies. Current ratio, financial leverage ratio, financing ratio data have been used as input criteria. Return on assets ratio, return on equity ratio, Tobin's Q ratio data have been used as output criteria. According to the findings, 7 of the 10 companies have been found to be at full efficiency level, and 3 of them have not been found at full efficiency level. It has been determined which input variables should be directed to reach the full efficiency level of the companies that are not at the full efficiency level. In addition, the weights of the input and output criteria have been determined. As a result of the research, suggestions are presented for companies to reach full efficiency level.
