Construction sector financial risk analysis, which is related to uncertainty, affects both the company and the financial welfare of its components. Then, it is crucial to protect assets, facilitate financial decisions, and promote value creation. The absence of information increases these risks and company vulnerability. The objective of the study was to determine the influence of financial risks on the value creation of construction companies listed on the Lima Stock Exchange. Methodologically, we used a quantitative approach with an explanatory level and a non-experimental design. Four construction companies were considered as samples for the research. Financial risks were determined by (VaR) for market risk, (z) for business failure risk, (Rp) for country risk, and (EVA) for value creation. Spearman coefficients of -0,417 (p < α), 0,351 (p < α), and -0,061 (p > α) and regression coefficients of -0,564 (p < α), 0,710 (p < α), and -0,302 (p > α) for each considered risk were determined; furthermore, financial risks absorb 55,9% of the variability of value creation. The financial risks significantly influence the value creation of construction companies listed on the Lima Stock Exchange. Specifically, the Value at Risk (VaR) exhibited an inverse relationship with Economic Value Added (EVA), while variable z showed a direct relationship. Additionally, the variable Rp also displayed an inverse relationship with EVA; however, this latter relationship was not statistically significant.
