Screening Profitable Beverage Stocks with Positive MACD

Summary

This Chinese equities screen combines a market capitalization ceiling of 10 billion yuan, positive profitability, beverage manufacturing industry membership, and a MACD reading above zero. Its detailed screening examples add conditions involving return on equity, positive valuation and net profit margin, and a MACD relationship to prior readings. The intended result is a list of smaller, currently profitable beverage producers with positive technical momentum.

The article identifies lag in MACD, uncertain trade conditions affecting imports and exports, and the possibility that current profits may not continue or may be unreliable. It proposes adding other indicators and valuation or growth measures. No backtest or measured evidence is reported. The examples also have varying definitions of the beverage trade filter, and the sample code contains apparent variable and implementation issues, so the screen should be treated as an outline rather than a verified selection system.

Key ideas

• The screen combines positive MACD with beverage industry, size, and profitability conditions.
• Some example rules add positive return on equity, valuation, and profit margin requirements.
• The source flags MACD lag and uncertainty in industry trade and future earnings.
• It gives no backtest evidence, and its examples vary in how they implement the filters.
