Screening Chinese Stocks by Dividend Ratio, Limit-Ups, and Amplitude

Summary

This post describes a stock-selection screen that combines daily price amplitude above 1, at least one limit-up event during the prior month, and a 2019 dividend ratio above 25%. It frames the conditions as a blend of price movement, recent market attention, and shareholder distributions. A Python example sketches how historical stock information and daily bars might be filtered against these criteria, though it does not show a complete, reproducible implementation or reported test results.

The author warns that relying on one year of dividend data can miss a company’s longer-term earnings capacity and prospects. Dividends can also affect cash available for operations and growth, while volatility and limit-up events can produce false selections. Suggested refinements include adding broader financial measures and risk controls such as stop losses. The post supplies no performance statistics, benchmark comparison, or evidence that the screen predicts future returns; its rationale and code are presented as an initial screening idea requiring further validation.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen combines price amplitude, a recent limit-up event, and a historical dividend-ratio threshold.
• The conditions are intended to capture price activity, market attention, and shareholder distributions.
• A single year of dividend data does not establish long-term financial strength or future prospects.
• The post recommends broader fundamental checks and risk controls, but reports no backtest results or return evidence.
