Combining Revenue Growth with Capital-Flow and Stock-Attention Rankings

Summary

This note outlines a stock-selection approach that ranks companies by capital-flow intensity and market attention, then considers revenue growth by comparing 2021 revenue with 2018 revenue. The initial rule specifies a ratio above 1.1. The proposed final version adds valuation screens, requiring price-to-earnings below 20 and price-to-book above 1, revenue growth above 20%, and unspecified industry and market-cap filters.

The discussion describes capital-flow intensity and attention as indicators of investor interest, and revenue growth as a measure of business expansion. It also warns that flows can shift, attention can reflect sentiment, and financial data may be unreliable. Suggested improvements include broader valuation measures, additional data sources, and industry or size constraints. The included code fragment is incomplete, and the note provides no backtest, stock examples, or evidence that the proposed filters improve returns. The initial rule and the expanded final criteria are not fully reconciled, so the precise screen remains ambiguous.

Key ideas

• The initial screen ranks stocks by capital-flow intensity and market attention, then applies a revenue ratio threshold.
• The stated revenue comparison uses 2021 and 2018 figures, with the ratio set above 1.1.
• The proposed expanded screen adds valuation thresholds, a revenue-growth condition, and industry and size filters.
• The author notes that flow rankings, attention measures, and reported financial data can be unreliable.
• The code example is incomplete, and no performance results are supplied.
