Abstract: Stock clustering serves as a quantitative tool to support portfolio construction by enabling investors to identify groups of stocks that exhibit similar behavior. In this study, clustering is applied to stocks included in the LQ45 index based on similarities in their price movement patterns. The clustering procedure employs the K-Means algorithm combined with Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) as the distance measure. DTW is selected because of its ability to more effectively capture similarities in time series movement patterns compared to conventional distance metrics. Time series clustering using the K-Means framework requires the specification of representative cluster centroids. To this end, the DTW Barycenter Averaging (DBA) method is utilized to compute the centroid of each cluster. Empirical results indicate that data normalization leads to clusters that more accurately reflect underlying stock movement patterns than clustering performed on non-normalized data. The centroids obtained through the DBA method effectively characterize the common dynamics of stocks within each cluster. Furthermore, the findings suggest a relationship between correlation structure and movement pattern similarity, where higher intra-cluster correlations are associated with more homogeneous stock movement behaviors.
