Chinese Stock Screen for Turnover, Profit Growth, and Positive P/E
Summary
This Chinese stock-selection strategy screens for shares with turnover between 3% and 12%, year-over-year growth in net profit attributable to the parent company above 20% and at most 100%, and a positive trailing price-to-earnings ratio. The article frames the combination as a way to consider trading activity, company earnings growth, and valuation together. Its cited screening logic also excludes certain exchange-code groups and sorts selected stocks by market capitalization.
The article identifies limitations: a screen based on recent profit growth may favor past results without confirming business quality, and relying on a single valuation measure can introduce bias. It suggests adding measures such as return on equity, operating cash flow, or other valuation ratios, as well as technical indicators, and adjusting criteria over time. Code examples are supplied, but they do not constitute evidence of profitability; the Python example includes additional price conditions and uses dated quarterly data, so it is not identical to the stated screen. No backtest results are reported.
Key ideas
- The screen requires turnover from 3% through 12%, inclusive.
