In the dynamic field of financial analytics, the ability to predict stock market trends is crucial for effective trading strategies which is the task for FedCSIS 2024 Data Science Challenge: Predicting Stock Trends. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the use of hybrid gradient boosting models, incorporating both classification and regression approaches, to forecast stock trends across different sectors of the S&P 500. Utilizing a rich dataset comprising key financial indicators for 300 companies over a decade, our research aims to unravel the complexities of sector-specific trend predictions. The model leverages 58 financial indicators per company, along with their 1-year change metrics, to predict the future stock movements. In the preliminary phase of the competition, our hybrid model demonstrated promising results, achieving a score of 0.5941, ranking first among competitors. However, despite the initial success, the final phase of the model evaluation revealed a decline in performance, with a score of only 0.841500. This discrepancy highlights potential issues in model stability and generalized-ability when transitioning from a controlled to a more varied testing environment. This work not only underscores the complexities of predictive modeling in finance but also sets the stage for future research into creating more resilient AI-driven trading systems.
