Chinese Stock Screening with Institutional Buying and Dividend Yield

Summary

This screen combines three signals for Chinese equities: institutional net buying above a stated threshold, a measure of recent institutional accumulation above a threshold, and a high dividend payout ratio from 2019. It presents the buying measures as evidence of institutional confidence and the payout as a sign of shareholder returns, then proposes sorting qualifying stocks by recent institutional buying.

The document gives a conceptual explanation and illustrative screening code, but no backtest, performance data, or independent validation. The code refers to a single stock symbol and data fields whose definitions and availability are unclear, so it does not demonstrate a working universe-wide implementation. Its own caveats are that market sentiment can affect institutional flows and that valuation and growth are omitted; the dividend signal is also tied to a historical year, limiting its relevance to current decisions.

Key ideas

• The screen combines recent institutional buying, institutional accumulation, and a historical dividend payout measure.
• Institutional buying is treated as a possible confidence signal, but flows can be affected by market sentiment.
• The strategy ranks qualifying stocks by the recent buying measure.
• The document provides no performance evidence and notes that valuation and growth are not considered.
