Screening Chinese Stocks by Turnover, Profit Growth, and Market Capitalization
Summary
The document describes a Chinese stock selection screen combining turnover, parent-company net profit growth, market capitalization, and a non-loss condition. It selects stocks with turnover between 3% and 12%, year-over-year net profit growth above 20% and up to 100%, market capitalization within the stated ceiling, and no loss. It also presents example formulas and Python code intended to illustrate how the criteria might be applied with financial data sources.
The rationale is to constrain trading activity while favoring companies with positive and bounded profit growth, smaller market capitalization, and no reported loss. The author says these filters may reduce exposure to riskier firms, but provides no backtest, performance figures, or validation of the examples. The document acknowledges that historical financial statements may not predict future earnings or stock returns, and that the selection rules involve judgment. It suggests considering further business measures, such as research spending and gross margin, while adjusting the criteria for company fundamentals and market sentiment. The examples use specified historical reporting periods, so they do not establish how the screen performs with current or point-in-time data.
Key ideas
- The screen requires turnover between 3% and 12%.
- It selects for year-over-year parent-company net profit growth above 20% and no more than 100%.
- It adds a market capitalization ceiling and excludes loss-making firms.
- The document offers example formulas and data retrieval code, but reports no test results.
- Historical financial data and subjective thresholds may not predict future performance.
