A-Share Screening with Position Increases, Price Moves, and Financial Filters

Summary

This post proposes an A-share screen that begins with a reported increase in holdings above 5% and a daily price change between a 5% loss and a 2.6% gain. It then lists valuation, recent growth, and multi-year quality filters, including price-to-earnings and price-to-book limits, profit and revenue growth, margins, return on equity, and dividend yield. The post presents the combination as a way to identify stocks with buying interest, restrained recent price moves, and selected financial characteristics.

The listed criteria are internally inconsistent: the discussion misstates the price-change bounds, and the final rules contain many mutually conflicting thresholds for five-year annualized EPS growth, including both positive and negative cutoffs. The article also supplies no definition for the position-increase measure and no backtest, performance figures, or supporting evidence. It warns that financial performance and market conditions can still lead to losses, and suggests adding industry, valuation, and technical context. The screen is therefore difficult to reproduce as written and should not be treated as a validated strategy.

Key ideas

• The initial screen combines a reported position increase above 5% with a bounded daily price move.
• The proposed financial filters include valuation, growth, margins, return on equity, and dividend yield.
• The post’s explanation gives inconsistent interpretations of the price-change limits.
• Its many EPS-growth thresholds conflict with one another, making the final screen unclear.
• No backtest or performance evidence is provided, and the position-increase measure is undefined.
