Abstract
As a result of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic worldwide, all sectors have been economically affected by this crisis. One of these sectors is automotive sector. The automotive sector, which constitutes 4% of the global economy, had to struggle with many problems in this process. In this context, this study aimed to analyse the financial performances of automotive companies operating in the BIST during the Covid-19 period (2020-2021) and before (2018-2019). From this point of view, the CRITIC-based COCOSO method, one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods, was used to analyse the financial performance of companies. As a result of the analysis conducted by the CRITIC method, the most important criterion was the equity turnover ratio. The criterion with the least important was the economic profitability ratio. As a result of the analysis made with the CoCoSo method, FMİZP and FROTO companies took the first two places in the financial performance ranking, while KATMR and BALAT companies took the last place. When the analysis results obtained with the effect of the pandemic are examined together, it is seen that there was no general change in the financial performance rankings between the pre-pandemic period and the pandemic period, and the pandemic did not change the financial performance rankings of the companies.
