Abstract: Due to the complexity of the capital market, stock price prediction has always been a difficult problem for researchers. Researchers in the past tend to see it as a time series problem or a sentiment analysis problem based on social media text. However, changes in stock prices are closely related to events in the financial market. An important financial event can trigger a chain effect on the market. Financial events can be presented in financial news or reports by securities researchers. However, the background knowledge of the relevant financial entities in the event is lacking, and the amount of information contained in the news text or report text is limited. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an event-driven stock price prediction model that combines financial event text and event-related entity representation. The accuracy score of our model on the financial news data set and stock research report data set is better than the current state of art BERT model in the NLP field and beats a series of baselines.
