Screening Stocks by Reported Net Income Growth

Article BigQuant

Summary

This stock selection strategy uses newly reported financial results to identify companies with year-over-year growth in net profit attributable to parent-company shareholders above 30%. Because announcements are often released after market hours, it enters at the open on the following trading day. It ranks qualifying stocks by growth rate and limits the portfolio to no more than 50 holdings.

The strategy holds each position for 40 trading days, then sells at the open on the next day. The document describes the trading rules but provides no performance results, data history, benchmark, or details about allocation and risk controls. Its timing depends on accurate announcement timestamps and point-in-time financial data; the brief description does not explain how it handles overlapping signals, missing reports, or execution costs.

Key ideas

  • Entries occur at the open after the financial announcement.
  • Positions are held for 40 trading days and sold at the following open.
  • The document gives no backtest evidence or risk-management details.
