- The report tracks stocks, industries, and sectors that have reached new highs, which can be seen as market indicators. It highlights the effectiveness of momentum and trend-following strategies[11] - The report uses the 250-day high distance to represent new highs, calculated as follows: $ 250 \text{ day high distance} = 1 - \frac{Closet}{ts\_max(Close, 250)} $ where Closet is the latest closing price, and ts_max(Close, 250) is the maximum closing price over the past 250 trading days[11] - As of November 7, 2025, the 250-day high distances for major indices are: Shanghai Composite Index 0.47%, Shenzhen Component Index 2.34%, CSI 300 1.45%, CSI 500 2.93%, CSI 1000 1.39%, CSI 2000 1.36%, ChiNext Index 3.49%, and STAR 50 Index 8.02%[12][13] - The report identifies 1018 stocks that reached new 250-day highs in the past 20 trading days, with the highest numbers in the machinery, basic chemicals, and electronics industries[19] - The highest proportions of new high stocks are in the coal, non-ferrous metals, and steel industries[19] - The report tracks "stable new high" stocks based on analyst attention, relative strength, trend continuity, price path stability, and new high sustainability[27] - The screening criteria for stable new high stocks include: - Analyst attention: At least 5 buy or hold ratings in the past 3 months - Relative strength: Top 20% in market performance over the past 250 days - Price stability: Evaluated using the absolute value of price changes over the past 120 days and the sum of absolute daily price changes over the past 120 days[27] - The report lists 50 stable new high stocks, with the highest numbers in the cyclical and technology sectors[28]

- The report introduces a quantitative model called "250-day new high distance" to track market trends and identify investment hotspots. The model is based on the idea that stocks nearing their 52-week high tend to outperform those far from their 52-week high, as supported by research from [George@2004] and other experts[11][18]. The formula for calculating the 250-day new high distance is: $ 250 \text{ day new high distance} = 1 - \frac{\text{Close}_{t}}{\text{ts\_max(Close, 250)}} $ where $\text{Close}_{t}$ represents the latest closing price, and $\text{ts\_max(Close, 250)}$ is the maximum closing price over the past 250 trading days. If the latest closing price reaches a new high, the distance is 0; otherwise, it is a positive value indicating the degree of decline from the high[11] - The report evaluates the model positively, highlighting its effectiveness in identifying market trends and leading stocks that drive market cycles[11][18] - The report also introduces a factor-based screening method for "stable new high stocks" using criteria such as analyst attention, relative stock strength, price path smoothness, and new high sustainability. The screening process includes: 1. Analyst attention: At least 5 buy or overweight ratings in the past 3 months 2. Relative stock strength: Top 20% of market-wide 250-day price change 3. Price path smoothness: Evaluated using metrics like absolute value of price changes over the past 120 days and cumulative absolute price changes over the same period 4. New high sustainability: Average 250-day new high distance over the past 120 days 5. Trend continuation: Average 250-day new high distance over the past 5 days[25][27] - The report positively evaluates the factor-based screening method, citing research that smooth price paths and sustained momentum are associated with stronger returns[25][27] --- - The backtesting results for the "250-day new high distance" model show that as of November 7, 2025, major indices such as the Shanghai Composite Index, Shenzhen Component Index, CSI 300, CSI 500, CSI 1000, CSI 2000, ChiNext Index, and STAR 50 Index have respective 250-day new high distances of 0.47%, 2.34%, 1.45%, 2.93%, 1.39%, 1.36%, 3.49%, and 8.02%[2][12][32] - The backtesting results for the "stable new high stocks" factor show that 50 stocks were selected based on the screening criteria.
