Adding Sales-to-Price and Dividend-Yield Filters to Stock Selection

Summary

This brief Chinese-language post describes a stock-selection submission that adds price-to-sales and dividend-yield filters, then increases the weight assigned to dividend yield. The author says the results improved, but provides no performance figures, test period, benchmark, portfolio details, or explanation of how the factors were calculated. The claim is therefore an unquantified observation rather than evidence that the change will generalize.

The author connects the change to a view that growing institutional participation has increased demand for fundamental characteristics. A comment exchange also explains that daily purchase amounts can vary because gains left in the account are used to add to existing holdings that have not reached their intended amounts. The post does not specify a formal weighting or rebalancing rule, and the linked strategy details are not included in the document. Readers can take away the factor-selection idea and the reinvestment explanation, but cannot assess the strategy’s risk or robustness from this post alone.

Key ideas

• The stock selection adds price-to-sales and dividend-yield conditions as filters.
• Dividend yield receives a higher weight, and the author reports an improvement without quantifying it.
• The author argues that institutional participation has increased the market’s emphasis on fundamentals.
• Varying daily purchase amounts are attributed to reinvesting account gains in existing underweight holdings.
