Screening Metaverse Stocks by Recent Limit-Ups and Dividend Payout

Summary

This post describes a daily stock-selection rule for Chinese equities in the metaverse industry. It selects stocks that had at least one limit-up event during the previous 25 days and whose 2019 dividend payout ratio exceeded 25%. The stated selection time is before 10 a.m. The accompanying Python example filters a daily data slice by the dividend threshold and a nonempty list of recent limit-up dates, then returns the matching stock codes.

The post offers a rationale and practical cautions rather than performance evidence. It suggests the combination may capture industry attention and recent price strength, while noting that historical dividends do not guarantee future profitability, recent limit-ups may leave buyers paying elevated prices, and early-morning decisions can precede important news. It proposes adjusting the payout threshold, managing position size, and adding price-volume or chart analysis. No backtest results, entry or exit rules, holding period, or transaction-cost assumptions are provided; the screen should therefore be read as a selection idea rather than a validated trading system.

Key ideas

• The screen requires metaverse industry membership, a limit-up in the prior 25 days, and a 2019 payout ratio above 25%.
• It is intended to run before 10 a.m. each day.
• The code filters the latest date’s records using the payout ratio and recent limit-up data.
• A prior dividend payout and a recent limit-up do not establish future profitability or attractive entry prices.
• The post provides no backtest, holding rule, exit rule, or transaction-cost analysis.
