Kaviya Gopal (M.Sc. in Financial Engineering)

Ms. Keviya Gobal compares quantum‑inspired models (QSVM, QNN) with proven Linear Regression and LSTM techniques for forecasting Free Cash Flow across 20 S&P 500 firms. The study evaluates predictive accuracy and statistical significance, linking results to DCF‑based valuation impacts. Findings identify specific market conditions where quantum methods deliver measurable gains and where traditional models remain more reliable—an exciting roadmap for finance professionals exploring quantum‑enhanced analytics.
