This study conducts factor analysis on financial ratios of the construction companies in Colombia in the period 2000@@@@2014. According to that, the purpose of the study is to use the factorial analysis technique to determine whether the nancial ratios are related to a smaller number of unobservable factors and eliminate redundancy among them. The results show that it is possible to explain 88.753% of the variance with 13 financial ratios grouped into three factors. © 2019, Universidad Pablo de Olavide.spahttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/1886-516Xinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleConstruction companiesDeveloping countriesFactorial analysisFinancial ratio analysis2020-12-03Judith V.Maribel S.
