Chinese Stock Screening with Dividend Payout, Afternoon Flows, and Position Changes

Summary

This note describes a Chinese equity screen that combines a high dividend ratio in 2019, net inflows from large orders in the afternoon, and a daily increase in holdings above a stated threshold. It interprets the filters as capturing dividend distributions, buying interest, and capital flows. The accompanying example adds valuation filters based on price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, plus trend filters using moving averages and MACD.

The discussion warns that buying interest and capital flows can shift with sentiment, market conditions, or policy, while a past dividend ratio does not establish current business quality or profitability. It recommends considering company fundamentals, industry prospects, and additional technical indicators. The note provides screening logic but no backtest or evidence that the combination predicts returns; its flow measures and time references would also need careful definition before implementation.

Key ideas

• The core screen combines a 2019 dividend ratio, afternoon large-order net inflows, and a daily holdings increase above the stated cutoff.
• The example adds valuation filters and moving-average and MACD conditions.
• The author treats flows and position changes as imperfect proxies for investor interest.
• Historical dividend data alone may not reflect current business performance.
• No performance results or backtest are reported.
