Weekly Comparison of Dividend Yield, Price-to-Sales, and Relative P/E Models

Article BigQuant

Summary

This weekly report compares three Huatai fundamental stock-selection portfolios during a market pullback: a high-dividend-yield model, a low price-to-sales model, and a relative price-to-earnings model. It reports absolute returns, benchmark-relative returns, maximum drawdowns, daily win rates, and best daily excess returns for the week. The relative P/E portfolio had the smallest absolute loss, while the low price-to-sales portfolio had the largest; the dividend portfolio fell between them. The relative P/E portfolio also showed positive excess return against both named benchmarks, while the low price-to-sales portfolio had negative excess return against the CSI 300.

These figures offer a brief historical comparison, not evidence of durable performance. Some benchmark figures are missing in the source text, and the report gives little detail on portfolio construction, factor definitions, rebalancing, transaction costs, or statistical reliability. It warns that these value-oriented models may lag if market leadership shifts toward thematic investing.
