Stock clustering and portfolio diversification. Suitable features. - timurkanaz - Mar-26-2024
Hi. I want to conduct a research. I want to cluster stocks and then make a safe diversified portfolio. I want to work with annual data. From price data I took beta coefficient and average price change. I also want to use companies reports to take some fundamental data, especially multipliers. Aiming to build a diversified portfolio, what multipliers can I take from the company's annual reports? Maybe someone had an experience? Thanks in advance for answers!

import yfinance as yf
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
# supply ticker symbol:
symbol = "NVDA"
ticker = yf.Ticker(symbol)
# get one years historical data data is formatted as (data will be pandas dataframe)
data = ticker.history(period="1y")
# to save as csv (change path as desired)
currentpath = Path(".")
savefilename = currentpath / f"{symbol}_History_1yr.csv"
data.to_csv(savefilename, index=False)first few lines of file :Output:Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Dividends,Stock Splits
