Combining Institutional Accumulation, Seven Down Days, and Dividend Payout

Summary

This stock-screening proposal combines three filters: today’s increase in institutional holdings must exceed five percent, the share price must have fallen for seven consecutive sessions, and the company’s 2019 dividend payout ratio must be above twenty-five percent. The document interprets these as signals of institutional buying interest, recent price weakness, and past shareholder distributions. It also suggests adding valuation comparisons, including price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios below industry averages.

The material offers a basic pandas example and qualitative reasoning, but no backtest, sample definition, or performance results. Its claims about institutional accumulation and payout ratios should be treated as screening hypotheses; neither guarantees future appreciation or enduring profitability. The example’s price-change condition checks for a negative difference rather than explicitly encoding seven consecutive declines, so it does not by itself implement the full stated rule. Further fundamental review and validation would be needed before use.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen combines institutional accumulation, seven consecutive falling sessions, and a high 2019 dividend payout ratio.
• An expanded version adds price-to-earnings and price-to-book comparisons with industry averages.
• The document provides no empirical evidence that the filters predict gains.
• The sample code’s negative price-difference condition does not independently enforce seven consecutive down sessions.
