This study aims to analyze the relationship between circular economy criteria practices, dynamic capabilities, and the financial performance of manufacturing companies in Aguascalientes. The research is correlational, non-experimental, and cross-sectional, as the data was collected over a six-month period from a total of 33 companies through convenience sampling, without considering historical or future data. The population under study consists of manufacturing companies in the state of Aguascalientes, as they are not only of greater economic importance to the state but also contribute significantly to global pollution. Financial performance and dynamic capabilities were studied as dependent variables, while circular economy practices served as the independent variable. The results showed an acceptable relationship between the variables, with the highest level of correlation observed between circular economy practices and dynamic capabilities.
