Firms, regulators, and asset managers can operationalize complaint-topic and sentiment monitoring for early risk detection, prioritizing investigations, and as complementary features in forecasting or factor models.
Practical takeaway informed by empirical results showing complaint features predict short-term returns and topic-specific signals indicate reputational/operational risk; recommendations provided but no deployed field trial.
Including complaint-derived features in supervised machine-learning models improves out-of-sample prediction of abnormal returns relative to models using standard financial predictors alone.
Supervised learning experiments compare baseline financial-predictor models to augmented models that add complaint volume, topic prevalences (LDA), and aggregated VADER sentiment; augmented models show higher out-of-sample predictive accuracy for abnormal returns.
Relatively simple NLP tools (LDA for topics and VADER for sentiment) yield economically meaningful signals related to stock returns.
Pipeline: preprocessing + LDA topic extraction + VADER sentiment scoring on CFPB complaint narratives; resulting features show statistically significant associations with abnormal returns in panel models and improve ML predictive performance on the 261-firm monthly sample (2018–2023).
Topic-specific complaint trends (from LDA) provide additional predictive power for short-term abnormal returns beyond aggregate volume and sentiment.
Unsupervised LDA used to extract complaint topics at the firm–month level; inclusion of topic prevalence/trend variables in panel/ML models improves in-sample explanatory power and out-of-sample prediction accuracy relative to models using only volume and sentiment.
