MERGER & ACQUISITION SUCCESS PREDICTION
This project leverages Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to enhance the prediction of successful M&A deal completions. Using Python, I built and benchmarked multiple classification models (Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Neural Networks, Decision Trees, SVM) on structured financial datasets. In parallel, I conducted sentiment analysis on pre-announcement news and rumors using VADER and TextBlob to extract market sentiment features. These, were integrated into a hybrid predictive model, combining financial and textual data: this approach improved classification performance, offering more reliable forecasts of M&A outcomes and highlighting key financial and sentiment drivers behind deal success.
