General Background: Stock price prediction remains a central concern in financial economics due to its role in guiding investment decisions and managing market risk. Specific Background: Conventional forecasting techniques often inadequately address uncertainty, adaptability to new information, and the integration of prior knowledge, whereas Bayesian analysis offers a probabilistic framework that updates beliefs using historical and incoming data. Knowledge Gap: Despite growing interest in Bayesian methods within finance, empirical evidence demonstrating their practical efficiency in closely matching predicted and actual stock prices remains limited. Aims: This study aims to examine the efficiency of Bayesian analysis as a technical tool for predicting stock prices and supporting investor decision-making. Results: The findings indicate that Bayesian analysis generates predictions with minimal deviation from actual stock prices, confirming the robustness and reliability of the model. Novelty: The study reinforces the applied value of Bayesian analysis by empirically demonstrating its predictive efficiency within a real stock market context. Implications: These results suggest that Bayesian-based forecasting can enhance investors’ analytical independence, reduce reliance on costly external financial analysts, and promote more informed, data-driven investment strategies in dynamic financial markets.Keywords : Bayesian Analysis, Stock Price Prediction, Bayesian Forecasting Models, Financial Time Series, Investment Decision MakingHighlight : Forecast outputs closely matched observed market values, indicating minimal deviation across tested periods.
