HWC Stock Price Prediction

Abstract

We evaluate Hancock Whitney prediction models with Modular Neural Network (Market News Sentiment Analysis) and Polynomial Regression^1,2,3,4 and conclude that the HWC stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+6 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold HWC stock.

Keywords: HWC, Hancock Whitney, stock forecast, machine learning based prediction, risk rating, buy-sell behaviour, stock analysis, target price analysis, options and futures.

Key Points

1. Trading Interaction
2. Decision Making
3. Should I buy stocks now or wait amid such uncertainty?

HWC Target Price Prediction Modeling Methodology

We consider Hancock Whitney Stock Decision Process with Polynomial Regression where A is the set of discrete actions of HWC stock holders, F is the set of discrete states, P : S × F × S → R is the transition probability distribution, R : S × F → R is the reaction function, and γ ∈ [0, 1] is a move factor for expectation.^1,2,3,4

F(Polynomial Regression)^5,6,7= $\begin{array}{cccc}{p}_{\mathrm{a}1}& p_{\mathrm{a}2}& \dots & p_{1n}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{j1}& p_{j2}& \dots & p_{jn}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{k1}& p_{k2}& \dots & p_{kn}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{n1}& p_{n2}& \dots & p_{nn}\end{array}$ X R(Modular Neural Network (Market News Sentiment Analysis)) X S(n):→ (n+6 month) $\overrightarrow{R}=\left(r_1,r_2,r_3\right)$

n:Time series to forecast

p:Price signals of HWC stock

j:Nash equilibria

k:Dominated move

a:Best response for target price

Conclusions

Hancock Whitney assigned short-term B2 & long-term B1 forecasted stock rating. We evaluate the prediction models Modular Neural Network (Market News Sentiment Analysis) with Polynomial Regression^1,2,3,4 and conclude that the HWC stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+6 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold HWC stock.
