Analysis of the «veterinary drugs» segment of the international stock market using IT

Abstract

Since the application of specific methods of stock market analysis should be based on already existing and functioning methods, the main provisions of the theories of technical, fundamental, and statistical analysis are considered in the work. A method is proposed for the effective selection of financial investment directions by visualizing data available on the Internet about the availability and value of assets. As an example of the implementation of the specified methodology, such a field of wide practical application as the "veterinary drugs" segment was chosen. The use of visualization methods built into open software allows you to present information intuitively, succinctly and to summarize statistical and analytical data. A review and comparative analysis of the leading specialized software products for data visualization and business analytics used for working with large volumes of data is carried out. The Java programming language, which is open for public use, has been chosen as the main software product for the implementation of intentions, which, when using the appropriate attached open libraries, has wide possibilities of using built-in visualization and forecasting methods. With the use of the specified software, a project was implemented to review and analyze the movement of investments in the financial market in the form of historical time series, which allows monitoring the dynamics of the movement of assets in the selected segment and diversifying the set of financial assets. It is described how even a non-professional low-budget investor using application software products and programming languages open to the public can create information systems for analysis and forecasting, while supporting dynamic diversification, of the investment process in order to obtain the optimal set of financial assets in the selected time period. For the purpose of a practical study of the situation on the market of veterinary drugs, the attention is focused on the visual presentation of the dynamics of assets using the advantages of diversification when choosing the names of drugs and their quantity. The practical approach of analyzing the dynamics of the stock price, in particular shares, proposed with the use of IT, is used to assess the possibility of short-term investment while providing appropriate advice. As a result of directly conducted market analysis, in particular, statistical analysis, the structure of the segment of veterinary drugs in the stock markets of various leading manufacturers, the dynamics of stock indices and shares of some companies is investigated.
