Abstract

Stock prices reflect a company's market value. This study aims to model the stock prices of three industries using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and the autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) models, and to forecast stock prices using the best model.  Data for three companies were obtained from Yahoo Finance to represent the telecommunications, financial, and construction sectors. The forecast results show that all daily stock values were within 99% of the expected ranges for both models. According to the evaluation results, the ARFIMA model outperformed the ARIMA model.
