Chinese Stock Screening with Profit Growth, Dividends, and Buying Activity

Summary

This document presents a Chinese equity screen based on reported earnings growth, a historical dividend payout ratio, and a measure of current buying activity. Its final criteria also include a market-capitalization floor and a price-to-earnings ceiling. The rationale is to combine shareholder distributions and profit growth with recent market behavior, then constrain the candidates by size and valuation.

The selection rules are stated, but the provided Python example does not faithfully implement them: its data fields and calculations do not clearly correspond to the stated buying-activity, earnings-growth, dividend, market-cap, and valuation conditions. The document supplies no backtest, performance evidence, or validation. It also cautions that historical financial data and market activity cannot account for industry conditions or predict future results, and suggests adding further company and market information. The screen should be treated as a proposed filter rather than a tested investment method.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen combines recent buying activity with profit growth and a historical dividend payout condition.
• The final selection rules add market-capitalization and price-to-earnings constraints.
• The sample code does not clearly implement the stated screening criteria.
• The document provides no performance test and warns that historical data cannot predict future outcomes.
