Research on the Financial Performance Evaluation of Machinery Manufacturing Enterprises Based on the Entropy Value Method

Abstract

As a key sector in advancing China’s “carbon neutrality” goal, the machinery manufacturing industry has achieved remarkable development in recent years. Against this backdrop, the scientific and objective evaluation of the financial performance of machinery manufacturing enterprises has become a pressing issue in financial research. This topic is not only crucial for optimizing enterprise management and improving operational efficiency but also essential for enhancing overall industry performance and promoting sustainable development. This paper first introduces the concept of financial performance, followed by an analysis of related financial performance evaluation theories. It then focuses on the application of the entropy method in evaluating the financial performance of machinery manufacturing enterprises, detailing its analytical steps. Finally, a financial performance evaluation index system is constructed based on four dimensions: profitability, solvency, operational efficiency, and growth potential.
