The bankruptcy of corporations causes huge losses for investors, managers, creditors, employees, suppliers, and customers. If someone understands the reason for the corporate's bankruptcy, then he can save the corporate from certain death with the necessary planning. Therefore, bankruptcy forecasting is the most important prerequisite for bankruptcy prevention. Due to this issue, the main aim of this article is the prediction of the economic bankrupt-cy of corporations in the Tehran Stock Exchange using group machine learn-ing algorithms. Financial ratios have been used as independent variables and healthy and bankrupt corporations as research dependent variables. The statistical population of the study is the information of financial statements of corporations on the Tehran Stock Exchange from the years 2004 to 2021. In this study, sampling is not used and corporations include two groups healthy and bankrupt. The bankrupt and non-bankrupt groups are selected based on the threshold of the Springate model. The research findings indicate that the accuracy of predicting the bankruptcy of corporations in the group learning model by stacking method is higher than other used models where the AUC and Accuracy Ratio were 0.9276 and 0.8247, respectively.
