| Summary: | A stock, commonly referred to as equity, represents an investment that signifies partial
ownership in a company. Investors are concerned with two crucial aspects: the current price of
their existing or potential investment and its projected selling price in the future. Predicting
stock prices has always been of great interest to investors; however, it has proven to be a
challenging task for researchers and analysts. The stock market is highly unpredictable, with
numerous complex financial indicators. Consequently, financial analysts, researchers, and data
scientists are continuously exploring analytical tools to uncover stock market patterns. In this
study, historical stock price data is leveraged to predict the stock prices of selected US
companies using a machine learning approach known as the Long Short-Term Memory
(LSTM) Model, which is a specialized form of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). The dataset
comprises five years of AAPL and MSFT data obtained from Yahoo Finance, with
consideration given to six relevant attributes. The LSTM model is employed to generate
accurate and reliable predictions. The LSTM model holds several advantages in the realm of
stock price prediction as it utilises historical stock price data to discern patterns and trends,
enabling the forecasting of future price movements. This study focuses on employing the
LSTM model to shed light on the potential for achieving precise stock price forecasts using
machine learning techniques. Additionally, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is employed
as a supplementary performance measure alongside the LSTM model for stock price prediction |
