Chinese Stock Screening by Turnover, Profit Growth, and Institutional Ownership
Summary
This document describes a Chinese A-share screening strategy that combines trading activity, earnings growth, and institutional ownership. It selects stocks with turnover between 3% and 12% and year-over-year net profit growth attributable to parent-company shareholders above 20% and up to 100%. The final selection ranks qualifying stocks by institutional ownership and takes the top five.
The rationale is that turnover offers a liquidity filter, profit growth adds a fundamental condition, and institutional holdings serve as a proxy for institutional interest. The article includes example formulas and Python code, but the examples have implementation limitations: the code uses a particular historical reporting period and approximates institutional interest with a holding threshold. The document provides no performance data or backtest results. It also notes that the screen omits factors such as valuation and broader market conditions, so passing its filters alone does not establish investment merit.
