MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL STABILITY AND MARKET VALUATION IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

This research examines the correlation between financial stability management and the market valuation of automotive companies in Uzbekistan, specifically targeting UzAuto Motors JSC and ADM Jizzakh Automobile Plant. The study assesses the impact of liquidity, profitability, and capital structure on competitive positioning, investor confidence, and sustainable growth. Financial ratio analysis and time-series review from 2018 to 2023 indicate that, although both firms have had substantial revenue and asset growth, deteriorating liquidity ratios and heightened debt pose strategic risks. The research advocates for the optimisation of debt structures, the acceleration of receivables turnover, diversification into high-value automotive sectors, and investment in technical modernisation to maintain market value and resilience.
