Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren ve Borsa İstanbul (BİST)’da pay senetleri işlem gören çimento şirketinin firmalarının, faaliyet ve nakit döngüsünün firma ve sektör bazında etkilerini belirleyerek, bu etkilerin hem firma hem sektör bağlamında finansal performansı nasıl şekillendirdiğini ölçmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada on dört çimento şirketinin firma ve sektör bazında faaliyet ve nakit döngüleri hesaplanmış ve her iki döngünün belirlenen performans kalemleri üzerine etkileri panel veri analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Analiz, 1997-2018 yıllarının üçer aylık periyodlarını kapsamaktadır. Analizden elde edilen sonuçlara göre işletme döngüsünü duran varlıklar ve finansal giderler etkilemektedir. Buna ek olarak, ilgili dönemde, ortalama stok ve ortalama ödeme süreleri finansal giderler üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahiptir.
