Dividend Yield Screening with Capital Intensity and Regional Exclusion
Summary
This A-share screening idea combines a 2019 dividend payout ratio above 25% with a ranking by capital intensity and the exclusion of Beijing-listed stocks. The document interprets stronger capital intensity as greater investor attention and the historical payout ratio as a sign of shareholder distributions. It also discusses extending the screen with turnover, trading volume, regional economic conditions, dividend history, and changes in payout ratios.
The rationale is qualitative. The document offers no performance evidence or definition of the capital-intensity measure, and its dividend filter relies on a single historical year. It cautions that concentrated trading interest may reflect speculation, that excluding a region can remove worthwhile companies, and that a high past payout does not establish future financial health. The proposed additional measures are suggestions, not tested refinements; users would need to assess data timing, company fundamentals, and the screen's behavior across market conditions.
Key ideas
