A-Share Screen Using Institutional Buying, Low Share Price, and Company Filters

Summary

This proposed A-share screen selects stocks with a reported daily increase in institutional holdings above 5%, a share price below 12, and companies described as loss-free with market capitalization below 10 billion yuan. The post frames the holdings change as a sign of institutional interest, while noting that buying activity may reflect sentiment or other motives rather than an estimate of fundamental value. It recommends adding financial strength, profitability, market share, and technical indicators to broaden the assessment.

The article offers no performance results or evidence that the holdings measure predicts returns. Its wording around the price and market-cap conditions is ambiguous, and the sample code uses a different market-cap threshold from the stated screen. It also does not define the source or timing of the holdings data. These gaps make the proposal difficult to reproduce as written and leave its risk and usefulness untested.

Key ideas

• The stated screen requires daily institutional holdings growth above 5%.
• It adds a share-price ceiling of 12 and a loss-free company condition.
• The stated market-cap ceiling is 10 billion yuan, though the sample code differs.
• The post warns that institutional buying may reflect sentiment rather than intrinsic value.
• It suggests adding financial, profitability, market-share, and technical measures.
