Item Revealing Insights: Sentiment Analysis of Indian Annual Reports(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Chaithra; Mohan, B.R.Annual reports are the corporate documents companies publish every year. These documents contain crucial company performance information and are often analyzed manually and objectively. The Investor often ignores the annual report's qualitative data and focuses only on quantitative data. In literature, it has been demonstrated that managers' word choices, CSR initiatives, and sentiments expressed in annual reports are related to future stock returns, earnings, and management fraud. Therefore, the study aims to observe sentiment orientation in CEO letters, Management Discussion and Analysis(MD&A), and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and examine the sentiment relation with company performance. The NSE-listed company annual reports are considered for the study. In the proposed approach, the results of the LM Dictionary-Based technique, Naive Bayes, SVM, RF, LSTM, and FinBERT model are considered to determine the final sentiment. The annual report tone is calculated and compared with the performance indicators, i.e., Return on Assets(ROA) and Return on Equity(ROE). © 2024 IEEE.Item Time based Sentiment Analysis of Financial Headlines using Recurrent Neural Network(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Shashank, G.; Pandey, G.; Koolagudi, S.G.The sentiment of financial news headlines plays an important role in understanding market trends and investor behavior. This study proposes a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)-based model for accurately classifying the sentiment of financial headlines into positive, neutral, and negative categories. Keeping in mind the time trend based behavior of the financial world, and the impact of certain keywords relevant only in the financial context, the RNN architecture captures the contextual nuances often overlooked by traditional methods. To address the domain-specific challenges of financial language and the inherent trends based on the time series based data, the model aims to incorporate embeddings that are fine-tuned on financial text along with a capacity to capture time based context. Experiments conducted on a dataset of financial stocks for a period from 2003 to 2020 help demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed RNN compared to other benchmark methods. It provides a result with 97% accuracy and accurately captures the context of verbal and time based sentiment context. © 2025 IEEE.
