A-Share Dividend Screening with Turnover and Market-Cap Filters

Summary

The document outlines an A-share stock selection rule that starts with companies reporting no losses, market capitalization below 10 billion yuan, and turnover between 3% and 12%. It then selects firms whose 2019 dividend ratio exceeds 25%, presenting dividend policy as a signal of cash-flow strength and potential income stability.

It also flags a key limitation: dividend screening alone can overlook profitability, liquidity, business quality, and risk. The proposed refinement is to assess financial statements, company competitiveness, industry conditions, and other operating factors alongside the dividend measure. The document includes platform-specific formula and Python examples, but supplies no performance results or evidence that the screen is profitable. Its criteria are historical and implementation details in the examples may not align perfectly with the stated screening rule.

Key ideas

• The screen combines a 2019 dividend-ratio threshold with turnover, market-capitalization, and loss filters.
• The strategy is framed as a way to focus on dividend-paying A-share companies with cash-flow strength.
• Dividend policy alone does not capture profitability, liquidity, business quality, or risk.
• The document recommends adding company and industry analysis before investing.
• No backtest or investment performance evidence is provided.
