There are a large number of financial indicators to inflect the operating performance of listed companies, but each of them only express one aspect of these abilities, such as profitability, solvency and development capabilities. In order to assess the operating performance comprehensively, it is important to consider these financial indicators as a whole. This paper uses the factor analysis method to construct an apprising model of operating performance, by which quantitative evaluation of management of steel and steel listed companies is carried out. The evaluation methods and analysis results could help the invertors to select the appropriate investments.
