Sentiment Scores in Relation to 10k Returns
This project studies the effect of wording sentiment values on stock returns of S&P500 companies during the 2022 year. To achieve this goal, this project has taken all S&P500 companies 10k reports as well as their daily returns for 2022 and sought out to find correlations. Through cleaning the 10k file, performing rigorous analysis based on 10 unique contextual sentiment scorings, this project has been able to create correlations between word usage and stock returns.
- Scatter plot with Positive Sentiments on x-axis and Returns from t-t+2 and Returns from t+3-t+10 days on the y-axis
This Project aimed at analyzing the regression analysis of Housing data from 2006 to 2008. Using the v_Sale_Price, Sale Price of the given parcel, against multiple variables including Lot Area, log(Lot Area), Year Sold, and others, this report analyzes coefficients that were found after runnign the regression. This report also created 7 models to base the regression off of.
The main goal of this project is to explore how different industries are affected by the Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict that started on the 24th of February of 2022. In order to do so, we analyzed how different industries’ returns were affected by a number of major events throughout the course of the war. We used a total of 17 major events and saw how cumulative returns for 5 industries, namely metal, energy, semiconductors, food, and transport industries, changed. In order to perform our analysis we used line-plots and computed return differences between the event date, 3 days after the event and 10 days after the event.
Career Objectives
I am planning on working in the financial services industry with the addition of consulting practices to broaden my skillset. I hope to ultimately combine my entreprenurial passion with my skillsets in finance and computer science to start my own company in the future. Although not entirely sure on the type of company I intend to start, I know that being an entreprenuer is a growing passion of mine.
