Financial markets’ dynamic and complex nature has spurred a growing interest in leveraging advanced computational techniques for stock market prediction. This research paper offers a comparative examination of machine learning (ML) models utilized in predicting stock market trends. This research comparatively examines machine learning models for stock market prediction using historical stock price data. The study evaluates their predictive capabilities across datasets like Infosys, Tesla, and Google using various models like linear regression, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbors, support vector classifiers, and random forest networks. Results demonstrate the varying strengths and limitations of the applied models, shedding light on their performance in different market conditions. They show the random forests network as the best-performing algorithm, while the k-nearest neighbors algorithm performs poorly. This study contributes to the discussion on machine learning in financial prediction.
