Steel and iron industry is both high-tech heavy machine and labor-intensive industry, which makes it operating in a highly competitive environment. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the financial performance of Turkish steel and iron sector. For this aim, financial ratios of 17 basic metal industry firms listed in Borsa Istanbul in 2017 are  calculated. Liquidity, efficiency, profitability and capital structure ratios are considered as main criteria of financial performance. By using Analytical Hierarchic Process (AHP), these criteria and related sub-criteria of each of them are assessed and weighted. These weights are then used in Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) for ranking. Obtained ranking is compared with ranking based on companies’ closing prices and results reveal that for 15 companies (88.235%) two rankings are very close. Therefore, it is concluded that combining AHP and TOPSIS should be used in financial performance evaluation.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Finansal performans, şirketlerin hem finansal hem de finansal olmayan politikalarının sonuçlarını yansıtarak kaynakların etkin kullanımını ve riskliliklerini değerlendirir. Bu nedenle, rekabetçi iş dünyasında finansal performans değerlendirmesi çok önemlidir. Çelik ve demir endüstrisi, hem makine hem de emek yoğun bir endüstridir ve buna bağlı olarak bu endüstri firmaları oldukça rekabetçi bir ortamda faaliyet göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk demir-çelik sektörünün finansal performansını değerlendirmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Borsa İstanbul&#039;da 2017 yılı içinde işlem gören 17 ana metal sanayi firmasının finansal oranları hesaplanmaktadır. Çalışmada likidite, verimlilik, kârlılık ve sermaye yapısı oranları finansal performansın ana ölçütü olarak kabul edilmiştir. Analitik Hiyerarşik Süreç (AHP) kullanılarak, bu kriterler ve her birinin ilgili alt kriterleri değerlendirmiş ve ağırlıklandırılmıştır. Ardından TOPSIS aracılığı ile bu ağırlıklar 17 firmayı sıralamak için kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sıralama, 2017 yılında şirketlerin kapanış fiyatlarına göre sıralama ile karşılaştırılmış ve 15 şirkette (% 88.235) iki sıralamanın çok yakın sonuçlar verdiği görülmüştür. Bu nedenle, AHP ve TOPSIS&#039;in birleştirilmesinin finansal performans değerlendirmesinde kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.</p></trans-abstract>
