Dividend, Float Size, and Capital-Strength Ranking for Stock Selection
Summary
This Chinese equity screening approach ranks stocks by a capital-strength measure, described broadly through indicators such as turnover or volume ratio, then applies two filters: a 2019 dividend ratio above 25% and a tradable share float no larger than 5.5 billion shares. The document presents these conditions as a way to combine signs of trading activity, tradability, and dividend capacity.
The article provides rationale and caveats but no tested results. It warns that capital-strength measures may be distorted, a float limit can exclude otherwise attractive companies, and high payout levels may constrain future company development. It suggests adding other activity and dividend measures or widening the float range, but does not define or evaluate those changes. The coding example is truncated, and no evidence establishes that the ranking or filters produce superior returns.
