Summary/Abstract: The retail sector is in a constant transformation parallel with economic fluctuations and changing consumer demands. The purpose of this study is to analyze the financial performance of firms in the retail sector between 2014 and 2023 using the CRITIC and MAIRCA methods.

As a result, Metro Petrol and Tesisleri has maintained its leadership over the years, while firms such as Artemis Halı and Doğan Holding have also been ranked highly, and firms such as Bim Mağazalar and Migros Ticaret have shown more stable performances, thereby improving their rankings in some years. The study aims to contribute to the determination of strategic financial orientations for the retail sector by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of firms in the sector.
