Abstract

Stock market prediction remains a critical area of research due to its significant economic implications and inherent complexity. With advancements in machine learning, research interest has grown substantially in understanding the impact of textual data on financial forecasting. This study presents a hybrid FinBERT-LSTM model that combines sentiment analysis of quarterly earnings conference calls with traditional price prediction methods. We evaluate our model’s effectiveness against standalone LSTM approaches across six major US stocks from the financial and technology sectors. Experimental results demonstrate that the sentiment-enhanced hybrid model achieves superior predictive accuracy for four of the six studied stocks, as measured by Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and Accuracy metrics. Most notably, Citibank and Meta demonstrated substantial improvements when incorporating sentiment analysis, with MSE scores approximately 38 percent lower compared to predictions without sentiment data. Our findings contribute to the growing body of research on textual analysis in financial forecasting, offering practical implications for investment decision-making and aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9—Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
