Abstract

IncrEasing uncertainty about geopolitical conflicts and downward economic pressure have contributed to increased stock price volatility in the military industry sector as a result of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict which has gradually developed into a protracted tug-of-war and a war of attrition, as well as the previous financial crises. To strengthen the role of investment profitability, this paper intends to conduct more research on the index of the military industry sector. To predict the trend of sector index, a decision tree, random forest model, time series-based ARIMA model, and neural network model are used. The sector indices are forecasted using the ARIMA model and the neural network model after the correlation test is completed with the random forest model. It is predicted that the sector index will continue to rise with possible fluctuations in the future. By using the random forest, ARIMA model, and neural network model, investors are able to avoid military industry sector risks and gain stable benefits.
