A CatBoost regression model enhanced with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) was developed using data from 65 global aviation companies collected between 2015 and 2023. The model predicts stock prices based on various operational and financial indicators, including Total Revenue per Available Seat Mile (ASM), Passenger Load Factor, liquidity ratios, and debt-to-assets ratios. The findings suggest that operational efficiency metrics, particularly Total Revenue per ASM and Passenger Load Factor, play a significant role in predicting stock prices within the aviation sector. Financial metrics, such as the Quick Ratio and Debt-to-Assets Ratio, also contribute to the model but appear to have a secondary influence compared to operational factors. SHAP values provided interpretable insights into the model's predictions, allowing for a better understanding of the relative importance of different features. Furthermore, the study's findings offer support for the semi-strong form of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), demonstrating that operational and financial metrics are reflected in stock prices. These results indicate that aviation companies demonstrating higher operational efficiency may be better positioned for favorable stock market performance, although financial health remains important. This study contributes to the existing literature by integrating operational and financial metrics into a machine learning framework, offering a comprehensive and interpretable model for stock price prediction in the aviation industry.  \nKeywords: Aviation stock prices, machine learning, SHAP values, operational efficiency, CatBoost  \nOperasyonel ve Finansal Verimliliğin Havacılık Hisse Senedi Fiyatları Üzerindeki Etkisi: SHAP Yorumlanabilirliğine Sahip Bir Makine Öğrenme Modeli  \nSüreç  \nGeliş: 03/10/2024  \nKabul: 29/12/2024  \nJel Kodları: G12, G32, C45  \nCopyright  \nThis work is licensed under Creative Commons AttributionNonCommercial 4.0 International License International License  \nÖZ  \nBu çalışma, bir makine öğrenimi yaklaşımı kullanarak, operasyonel ve finansal verimlilik ölçütlerinin havacılıksektöründeki hisse senedi fiyatlarını nasıl etkilediğini incelemektedir. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) ile geliştirilmiş bir CatBoost regresyon modeli, 2015-2023 yılları arasında 65 küresel havacılık şirketinden toplananveriler kullanılarak geliştirilmiştir. Model, Mevcut Koltuk Kilometre Başına Toplam Gelir (ASM), Yolcu Yük Faktörü, likidite oranları ve borç-varlık oranları dahil olmak üzere çeşitli operasyonel ve finansal göstergelere dayalı olarak hisse senedi fiyatlarını tahmin etmektedir. Bulgular, özellikle ASM başına Toplam Gelir ve Yolcu Yük Faktörü gibi operasyonel verimlilik ölçütlerinin havacılık sektöründeki hisse senedi fiyatlarının tahmininde önemli bir roloynadığını göstermektedir. Hızlı oran ve borç varlık oranı gibi finansal ölçütler de modele katkıda bulun makta ancak operasyonel faktörlere kıyasla ikincil bir etkiye sahip görünmektedir. SHAP değerleri, modelin tahminlerihakkında yorumlanabilir bilgiler sağlayarak farklı özelliklerin göreceli öneminin daha iyi anlaşılmasına olanak tanımıştır.
