Chinese Stock Screen for Turnover, Profit Growth, and Investor Attention

Summary

This Chinese equities screening rule selects stocks with turnover between 3% and 12% and year-over-year growth in net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company above 20% and no more than 100%. It then ranks qualifying stocks by individual-stock popularity, aiming to combine a trading-activity constraint and a fundamental growth measure with a sentiment-based ranking. A referenced formula also excludes ChiNext listings.

The article discusses risks: popularity may favor stocks whose earlier performance has already attracted attention, rankings may be distorted by manipulation or excessive enthusiasm, and a single profit measure may not represent the company’s overall condition. It suggests adding other financial, industry, and technical criteria and applying risk controls. The code examples do not establish that the screen has been tested or that it produces returns; the Python example also uses a different set of checks and ranks by valuation, so it does not fully implement the stated rule.

Key ideas

• The screen filters Chinese stocks by turnover and parent-company net profit growth.
• Qualifying stocks are ranked by popularity as a proxy for market attention.
• The described formula also excludes ChiNext listings.
• Popularity can favor already prominent stocks and may be distorted by manipulation or overheating.
• The examples provide no performance evidence, and the Python illustration differs from the stated screening logic.
