In the study, the financial profitability, economic profitability, business volume profitability and gross sales profitability rates of each company were calculated. The data used within the scope of the study were obtained in accordance with the principles of transparency and reliability. In this context, the information about the relevant companies was obtained from the financial reports published on the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) and the content shared by the companies on their official websites. Thus, the accuracy and up-to-dateness of the financial data used in the study was ensured.
