Abstract. Stock market attracts many investors to earn money by in-
vesting timely. But stocks are very volatile and their non-linear behavior
make them more unpredictable and it is humanly impossible to pre-
dict the stocks accurately. Neural networks based machine learning tech-
niques can be employed for the said purpose. Since there are many types
of neural networks available, to find the suitable type and architecture
of the network, problem specific empirical evaluation is required. This
work focuses on assessing different types of neural networks for predict-
ing stocks of Pakistan Stock Exchange. Recurrent neural networks are
found to outperform other networks on all the evaluated stocks.
