Forecasting Analysis of Stock Prices on European Markets Using the ARIMA-GARCH Model.

The achievement of profits when trading on the stock markets is conditioned by a quality analytical forecast of the development of stock prices in the coming period. This research attempts to compare the results of the ARIMA model and the ARIMA-GARCH model to forecast the development of stock prices on a sample of selected stocks from the Czech, German, Austrian, Polish and British markets. The 4 most liquid titles from each of the above-mentioned markets were selected for the sample of analyzed stocks. Available daily closing stock price data, mostly from the period 2000-2022, were used for the analysis. Research has shown that for most of the analyzed titles, it is more appropriate to use the ARIMA-GARCH model, which better captures variability for this data than just the ARIMA model. The quality of the selected model is evaluated by autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity tests, and Theil's inequality coefficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
