ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic that has occurred for approximately two years since 2020 in Indonesia has had a tremendous impact on the domestic economy. The impact is felt by many sectors, including the banking In the banking sector, the economic downturn is also felt by investors, especially stock investors. Due to fluctuating stock price conditions, it also increases the number of uncertainties. This needs to be taken seriously by business people in the banking sector and investors so that companies are still able to operate in the midst of post-pandemic conditions. In times of crisis like today, investors, especially stock investors, have begun to adapt to the development of stock prices by taking an approach using advances in information technology. Updates from the field of information technology such as the use of machine learning with a technical approach or forecasting method have now begun to be utilized. This study aims to Analyze and forecast the closing price of shares of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk using the Multiple Linear Regression method using reference stock data before and after covid-19 with a time span between 2018 and The forecasting results produced an RMSE value of 0. 0256 in the condition of 90% training data and 10% test data.

INTRODUCTION Since emergence in December 2019, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a very serious impact on almost all aspects of human life on earth. Especially in the economic sector, although objectively this pandemic has also had a positive impact on improving the earth's ecological conditions on a scale and extent which is not a joke: global, worldwide, all countries in the world feel it (Anggraini, 2. As a developing country. Indonesia in the economic sector is also affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in the stock market sector, which is one type of securities traded on the stock exchange (Arthamevia, et al. , 2. Banking stock are one of the investment instruments that investors are interested in. The condition of changes in banking stock prices that occur in the capital market is influenced by economic conditions and banking regulations (Hijrah, et al. , 2. In addition, the rise and fall of stock prices are also closely related to the rise and fall of the company's value in the eyes of the market, both in micro and macro businesses (Putri. In general, the Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on a country's economy including the financial industry, especially the banking sector (Manurung et al. , 2. The growing global sentiment affects investors. Investors are reluctant to invest in high-risk assets and prefer to hold cash (Lailiyah, et al. , 2. Based on the analysis of the above conditions, it is necessary to take an approach with a machine learningbased forecasting method with the Multiple Linear Regression algorithm. The definition of Linear Regression is a prediction or forecasting method using a straight line to describe the relationship between two or more variables (Komansilan, et al. , 2. Based on previous research, it is known that the results of predicting the share price of Bank Jago with the Multiple Linear Regression method resulted in a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) value of 228. 130 (Ananda, et al. , 2. Then, in 2023, research was also conducted using the Linear Regression algorithm using data from PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia and resulted in an RMSE value of 62. 592 (Sipahutar, et al. , 2. The results of his research resulted in an RMSE value of 62. In this research, using a dataset from PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk with a time span of 2018 to 2022 and predicted using the Multiple Linear Regression method. The Multiple Linear Regression method is used because the stock dataset has several independent variables that have an influence on the dependent variable, namely the closing price of the stock and tests the level of accuracy. Table 1 below is a recapitulation of stock trading taken from the id. com website and a plot of the stock price movements of HIMBARA (Association of State-Owned Bank. member banks. Table 1.

Average Stock Price BRI Period 2018-2022 In Figure 1, it can be seen a comparison chart of the closing price movement of shares of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) and the closing price movement of shares of other banks that are still state-owned banks (BUMN). The red line graph shows the movement of the closing price of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) shares which tend to be stable compared to the other three banks. Then, in Figure 2 is the average value of the closing price of PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) shares. It can be seen that the average value of the closing price of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) shares occurred in 2022, meaning that two years after the pandemic, the average value of the closing price of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) shares showed an increase or improved again. This gives a positive signal by restoring confidence to investors who have invested in the RESEARCH METHOD This research uses quantitative methods with datasets obtained from id. com with a span of 4 The data is then processed using the Python programming language for simulation. The best forecasting simulation is the simulation that produces the lowest error value. 1 Identifying Problems At this stage, the process begins with correlating some issues raised in the research, research objectives and their relation to data and credible sources. 2 Literature Review Below are some previous researches that become other reference that can be seen in Table 2 below.

In its application to the machine learning process, greater value of training data used more possible to achieve testing results with maximum results. In this research, five data split percentage compositions are applied, namely 70%:30%, 75%:25%, 80%:20%, 85%:15%, and 90%:10%. 7 Multiple Linear Regression Model The Multiple Linear Regression algorithm is an algorithm used to identify the relationship between the response variable and at least two predictor variables. In the regression method, the predicted variable is generally called the dependent variable, this variable is influenced by the independent variable (Usman, et al. 8 Model Evaluation Evaluation of the machine learning-based forecasting modeling process is done by comparing and calculating the prediction results of true and false values.

Figure 4. Implementation of Multiple Linear Regression Algorithm In this study, five simulation stages were carried out with different distributions of training data and test The first simulation uses 70% training data and 30% test data. The second simulation uses 75% training data and 25% test data. The third simulation uses 80% training data and 20% test data. The fourth simulation uses 85% training data and 15% test data. Finally, the fifth simulation uses 90% training data and 10% test The results of each simulation can be seen in Figures 5-9 below. Figure 5.
