The need to ensure financial stability of businesses under global challenges conditions is highlighted in this paper. The company financial stability is one of the most important characteristics of the company financial condition, associated with the level of dependence on creditors and investors and is characterized by the ratio of equity and liabilities. The existing methodological approaches for the evaluation of the enterprise financial stability are analyzed. The evaluation of financial stability on the example of metallurgical enterprise by coefficient, score and integrated methods is carried out. The coefficient analysis shows that the most of financial stability coefficients in the dynamics have decreased and are not within the normative values. While analyzing the financial stability type, it is determined that the enterprise in 2018–2020 had unstable financial condition, which indicates solvency violation. The results of the financial stability analysis by scoring method, according to which the coefficients are assigned the appropriate score depending on the approximation to the normative indicator, led to the conclusion that PJSC «AZOVSTAL» in 2018–2020 was included to the fifth class, i.e. crisis enterprise of the highest risk, practically not solvent. The evaluation of financial stability by the integrated method, according to which the value of the integrated indicator should be closer to one, showed that the enterprise financial stability in 2018 was bad, in 2019 very bad, and in 2020 satisfactory. The measures to increase the enterprises financial stability depending on the financial stability level are proposed, particularly, for the investigated enterprise it is proposed to improve financial flow planning, implementation of real payment calendars, creation of financial responsibility centers and strengthening control over them by the holding, which always make it possible to have reliable information about the company's cash flows and increase the controllability of current payments, reduce losses from the funds misuse. It is also proposed to accelerate the turnover of enterprise resources, which will improve the overall efficiency of activities.
