Formulates equity research report (ERR) generation, builds the FinRpt Chinese-English dataset (6,825 reports, CSI800) with an 11-metric evaluation system, and proposes FinRpt-Gen, a nine-agent framework trained with SFT and DAPO-based RL.
Problem
Automating equity research report generation from heterogeneous financial data is unexplored, lacking both training data and evaluation metrics that cover financial accuracy, trend prediction, and professionalism.
Approach
Decomposes ERR writing into a multi-agent pipeline (extraction, analysis, prediction agents) with an automated dataset construction pipeline that refines reports against expert reports and enforces rating consistency with ground-truth trends, plus a reward combining rating accuracy and ROUGE for RL on the prediction agent.
Key results
- FinRpt-Gen (Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-SFT-RL) reaches 55% recommendation accuracy and 49.06 ROUGE-L on 100 test samples, versus 48% for GPT-4o single-model and 50% for Gemini-2.5-Pro.
- Pairwise LLM judging gives the SFT-RL 7B model an average adjusted win rate of 0.69 against baselines, with 0.86 on FN.
- Human evaluation: expert-written ERRs average 4.30 and FinRpt ERRs 4.20 on a 0-5 scale; the GPT-4o judge agreed with human majority in 45/50 pairs (90%).
Surprising findings
- Single-LLM accuracy for buy/sell ratings stays near 33-50% across all models, close to chance for a binary label.
- The SFT-tuned 7B model outperforms GPT-4o and Gemini-2.5-Pro on most automatic metrics, though the reference data were itself generated by GPT-4o within the FinRpt-Gen pipeline.
Limitations
- Dataset reports are generated by GPT-4o within the pipeline and refined by GPT-4o, so the references may be biased toward GPT-4o outputs.
- Evaluation of the generated reports uses only 100 randomly selected test samples; the test set has 652 samples.
- Dataset is limited to Chinese CSI800 stocks over about two months (Sept-Nov 2024).
