Abstract: Stock trend prediction is a complex and crucial task due to the dynamic and nonlinear nature of stock price movements. Traditional models struggle to capture the non-stationary and volatile characteristics of financial time series. To address this challenge, we propose the Hybrid Relational Transformer (HRformer), which specifically decomposes time series into multiple components, enabling more accurate modeling of both short-term and long-term dependencies in stock data. The HRformer mainly comprises three key modules: the Multi-Component Decomposition Layer, the Component-wise Temporal Encoder (CTE), and the Inter-Stock Correlation Attention (ISCA). Our approach first employs the Multi-Component Decomposition Layer to decompose the stock sequence into trend, cyclic, and volatility components, each of which is independently modeled by the CTE to capture distinct temporal dynamics. These component representations are then adaptively integrated through the Adaptive Multi-Component Integration (AMCI) mechanism, which dynamically fuses their information. The fused output is subsequently refined by the ISCA module to incorporate inter-stock correlations, leading to more accurate and robust predictions. Extensive experiments on the NASDAQ100 and CSI300 datasets demonstrate that HRformer consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, e.g., achieving about 0.83% higher Accuracy and 1.78% higher F1-score than TDformer on NASDAQ100, with Sharpe Ratios of 1.5354 on NASDAQ100 and 0.5398 on CSI300, especially in volatile market conditions. Backtesting results validate its practical utility in real-world trading scenarios, showing its potential to enhance investment decisions and portfolio performance.
