Abstract

Purpose – To evaluate the financial performance of technology companies traded in BIST in 2017-2021 separately for each year. Design/methodology/approach – Using the data obtained through the Public Disclosure Platform, the Gray Relational Analysis Method, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods, was used. According to the values obtained by this method, the financial performances of technology companies traded in BIST are listed separately for each year. Findings – The data of 14 technology companies for the specified years were accessed through the Public Disclosure Platform. In the gray relational analysis method, 10 variables were used. As a result of the calculations made on these variables, a separate financial performance ranking was made for each year. Discussion – Considering the data obtained as a result of the application, the first 4 companies of the financial performance ranking within the specified years are LINK, FONET, LOGO, KRONT, although the rankings among themselves vary from year to year. The rankings of other companies constantly differ from year to year.
