Screening Smaller A-Shares with Unredeemed Convertible Bonds
Summary
This stock screen selects shares with daily price amplitude above 1, free float no greater than 5.5 billion shares, and a nonempty name for an outstanding convertible bond. The article associates the amplitude filter with short-term trading interest, the float limit with smaller companies, and an unredeemed bond with a possible additional source of return. Its examples also rank qualifying stocks by turnover and keep a subset of the results.
The article provides screening logic and sample implementations, but no backtest or evidence of investment performance. It notes that the rules omit company fundamentals and financial condition, that small-cap shares can carry elevated risk, and that convertible-bond returns are uncertain. A bond's existence alone does not establish attractive terms or expected returns; the article recommends reviewing the bond and combining the screen with financial, market, volume, and capital-flow information. The practical result will also depend on consistent amplitude definitions and accurate bond data.
Key ideas
