Abstract: The stock market is highly volatile, and the prediction of stock prices has always been an area of interest to many statisticians and researchers. This study is an attempt to predict the prices of stock using artificial neural network (ANN). Three models have been built, one for the future prediction of stock prices based on previous trends, the second for prediction of next day closing price based on today's opening price, and the third one analyses the sentiment of news articles and gives scores based on the news impact. ANN is trained with the historical data using R-studio platform which is then used to predict the future values. Our experimental results for various stock prices showed that the model is effective using ANN.

Keywords: stock price; forecasting; artificial neural network; ANN; sentiment analysis; opening price; closing price; R-studio; data analytics.
