A Novel Deep Learning Model for Stock Prediction Integrating Historical Prices, Core Volatility Trends and Financial News

Accurate stock price forecasting is crucial for investors and analysts aiming to make informed decisions and mitigate risks in financial markets. While deep learning models have proven effective in identifying complex patterns in quantitative data, they often struggle to account for non-quantitative factors such as corporate events, market sentiment, and regulatory changes that can cause unpredictable stock price movements. To address this challenge, an ensemble model is introduced that integrates historical price data, financial news, and stock fundamentals to predict next-day stock prices. The model combines one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (1D CNNs), Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs), and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs), applied independently to each data stream and concurrently as a unified ensemble, to capture both short-term and long-term market behaviors. NVIDIA (NVDA) stock was selected for testing due to its high volatility and rapid price fluctuations, presenting a challenging case for predictive modeling. Using data spanning from April 2014 to March 2024, the model achieved a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.983 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of $12.72. These results suggest that the ensemble approach effectively captures both quantitative and qualitative factors, making it a promising tool for improving stock price prediction in volatile market conditions.
