“…The ratios selected for the assessment also make 84% weight among all financial ratios of a recent study. A recent study assessed that the main criteria are Current Ratio, Cash Ratio, Debt Ratio, Net Profit Margin, and Return on Equity based on expert opinions (Yiğit, 2023). The same financial ratios are used as inputs for FAHP to reduce the complexity.…”

This paper presents a 3-stage innovative approach for company assessment, integrating financial ratios with the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and using an unsupervised artificial intelligence method, Self-Organizing Maps (SOM), for classification. Addressing the challenges of decision-making in resource allocation, the study combines accurate data with robust tools essential in turbulent economic times. FAHP, known for handling complex, uncertain information, is applied to refine the traditional company assessment methods by integrating different experts' opinions and conversion to numerical values. This study presents an innovative framework by integrating financial ratios, commonly used in company evaluation methodologies, with FAHP, which is capable of processing complex and uncertain data. The integration of financial ratios into FAHP enhances the accuracy and clarity in decision-making processes for evaluating and ranking companies while also allowing for the management of the inherent uncertainties in economic data. Furthermore, SOM, an unsupervised artificial intelligence method for company classification, is used. Net Profit Margin is the financial ratio evaluated with the highest weight among financial ratios by 0.38. After the FAHP phase, financial ratios obtained from the income statements and balance sheets of companies are multiplied by the respective weights for valuation. In the final phase, a total of 6 companies listed in the Borsa Istanbul Insurance Index are divided into 3 classes. The two companies receiving the highest valuation, AGESA (Agesa Life and Pension) and ANHYT (Anadolu Life Pension Joint Stock Company), have been classified as Class A. To show the performance of the proposed model, companies registered in the Electricity Sector XELKT registered 31 companies. Classification also performed well in that set. The paper contributes to the field by providing a detailed literature review, methodology, case study results, and discussions on the practical implications of this integrated assessment method and possible areas for further research and applications.
