The ease of investing in the digital era has driven Generation Z to dominate stock market participation, particularly in blue-chip stocks such as PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk (BBRI). However, stock price fluctuations influenced by macroeconomic factors, regulations, and global market sentiment make it difficult for investors to make accurate decisions. Decisions based on insufficient information pose a significant risk of loss, especially for novice investors. This study proposes a hybrid LSTM-XGBoost approach for predicting BBRI stock prices, combining the strengths of LSTM in capturing nonlinear time series patterns and XGBoost's effectiveness in reducing prediction errors. The model leverages both historical data and feature extraction outputs from the LSTM model. Future stock price values are then predicted by XGBoost using this combined dataset. The Hybrid LSTM XGBoost model outperforms the individual base models in terms of prediction accuracy, achieving an RMSE of 117.89, MAE of 92.45, and MAPE of 2.21%.
