Chinese Beverage and Alcohol Stock Screen with Turnover and Dividend Ratio
Summary
This proposed equity screen selects beverage and alcohol companies with turnover between 3% and 12% and a 2019 dividend ratio above 25%. The document supplies example screening formulas and Python logic that combine industry membership, historical dividend information, and a turnover observation. It presents the criteria as a way to mix industry selection, near-term trading activity, and shareholder distributions.
No backtest, return series, or other evidence of effectiveness is provided. The author warns that these filters do not assess company fundamentals comprehensively and that a high dividend ratio alone can still select loss-making or otherwise unsuitable businesses. The examples also refer to different dates for turnover data and dividend announcements, so timing and data alignment would need attention before evaluation. Suggested additions include return on equity and valuation measures such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, along with deeper testing of the selection logic.
