KAZANÇ, NAKİT AKIMI VE TAHAKKUKLARIN SÜREĞENLİĞİ: BORSA İSTANBUL ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Çalışmanın amacı, Türk şirketlerinin kazançlarının süreğenliğini ve bu süreğenliğin, kazancın nakit akımı ya da tahakkukbileşenlerinin hangisinden daha çok etkilendiğini incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Borsa İstanbulda 2005-2010 yıllarıarasında işlem gören 158 şirketin kazanç ve bileşenlerinin süreğenliği panel veri analizi metodolojisi ile test edilmektedir.Çalışmanın ampirik bulguları, Borsa İstanbulda kazançların süreğen olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak kazancın süreğenlikkatsayısı gelişmiş ülke şirketleriyle karşılaştırıldığında daha düşüktür. Ampirik bulgular, gelişmiş ülke piyasalarında yapılanaraştırmalarla uyumlu olarak kazanç performansının süreğenliğinin kazancın toplam tahakkuk bileşeninden çok, kazancın nakitakımı bileşeninden etkilendiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca ampirik bulgular, toplam tahakkukların nakit akımlarına göre düşüksüreğenlik göstermesinin anormal tahakkuklardan kaynaklandığını işaret etmektedir.
