For you to decide if a corporation’s stock is a good buy or sell, you must forecast several key variables, including the stock price.
o Use historical prices (5 years of monthly data recommended) and forecast the stock price for the next year. Use regression analysis, and/or moving average, etc. to create your forecast.
o Create a graph from the historical data and show your forecast on the same graph. You can add a trend line to the graph to help you with a forecast. Include the graph in your report.
o You need to say specifically what the forecasted value of the stock price is.
o You must address the question, “Is this forecast reasonable?” Must you amend your analysis to get a more reasonable forecast?
The companies to be evaluated are Motorola Solutions (MSI) and Tyler Technologies *TYL)
