Abstract This article presents a hands-on case study demonstrating the application of a lightweight neural network to forecast NVIDIA's (NVDA) next-day stock closing prices. Utilizing five years of historical data (2020–2024) and focusing on five key features—Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume—the model aims to predict the subsequent day's closing price. The study highlights the model's performance, noting a high correlation (R² = 0.9978) on training data and a reasonable correlation (R² = 0.8173) on unseen data. While acknowledging the model's limitations in accounting for unforeseen market events, the article underscores the potential of simple neural network architectures in providing valuable insights into stock price movements.
