Long-Horizon Forecasting of Complete Financial Statements with Forma

Long-Horizon Forecasting of Complete Financial Statements with Forma
Specialist training beats generalist scale when forecasting financial statements. To our knowledge, no prior work jointly forecasts complete financial statements beyond one year, yet in a discounted-cash-flow valuation most firm value sits past that window.

MacroLens: A Multi-Task Benchmark for Contextual Financial Reasoning under Macroeconomic Scenarios

A Fast and Effective Solution to the Problem of Look-ahead Bias in LLMs
The paper addresses look‑ahead bias in large language models (LLMs) used for financial prediction, which arises because LLMs are trained on long time‑series data. It proposes a low‑cost solution that adjusts the logits of a base model at inference time using two smaller, specialized models—one fine‑tuned to forget certain information and another to retain it. Experiments show that this method removes both verbatim and semantic knowledge, corrects biases, and outperforms previous approaches.

DualCast: A Dual-Path Language Model for Bimodal Financial Time-Series Forecasting
DualCast is a dual‑path language model that forecasts financial time‑series by combining a fast numerical forecaster with an optional text‑conditioned revision mechanism. The fast path trains only new financial‑token embeddings and output heads on a frozen Qwen3‑8B backbone, while the slow path uses a LoRA adapter to incorporate news and refine predictions. In zero‑shot tests across equities and energy prices at multiple time resolutions, the slow path achieves the lowest mean absolute percentage error in most settings, especially for longer horizons, and news ablations show additional gains in many markets.
