Goal: Use 5 years of quarterly stock data across the Dow Jones to establish visual filters and informative clusters.
- Doing so can highlight companies that are in growth phases, decline phases, or just kinda stagnant.
- Using financial ratios combined with clustering, we can assess patterns between stocks in a convenient way.
Note that the model does not implement time series techniques as I wanted to achieve a generic overview of company characteristics. Here are some plots of the clusters.
This is a still of an animation that will follow stocks of interest over time through the UMAP shape.
Finally, here is a snippet of how the clusters are classified by feature in relation to one another. They are not alway strict boundaries, but there are some discernable themes.
Feel free to fork and play with the parameters, it is fun to watch the stocks move through the market over time in a more artistic way.
