Abstract

This study examined an Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model for the average stock market prices (in Naira) of Julius Berger Nigeria PLC, for the period of January 2006 to December 2012 obtained from the website of cash craft asset management limited (a member of Nigerian Stock Exchange), while the 2013 Figures were used to assess the forecasting performance of the fitted model. The result of the analysis using the MINITAB software package version 15.0 revealed that the data required first order differencing to isolate trend. Further analysis showed that the appropriate model that best described the pattern is the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average process of order (1,1,1)x(1,0,1)12.
