Workflow

工作流程

Step 1: Define Search Criteria

步骤1：定义搜索标准

Ask the user for parameters:
  • Direction: Long ideas, short ideas, or both
  • Market cap: Large, mid, small, micro
  • Sector: Specific sector or cross-sector
  • Style: Value, growth, quality, special situation, event-driven
  • Geography: US, international, global
  • Theme: Any specific thematic angle (AI, reshoring, aging demographics, etc.)
向用户确认以下参数：
  • 方向：多头投资想法、空头投资想法或两者兼具
  • 市值：大盘、中盘、小盘、微盘
  • 行业：特定行业或跨行业
  • 风格：价值型、成长型、质量型、特殊情况型、事件驱动型
  • 地域：美国、国际、全球
  • 主题：任何特定主题方向（AI、回流、人口老龄化等）

Step 2: Quantitative Screens

步骤2：量化筛选

Run screens based on the style:
Value Screen
  • P/E below sector median
  • EV/EBITDA below historical average
  • Free cash flow yield >5%
  • Price/book below 1.5x
  • Insider buying in last 90 days
  • Dividend yield above market average
Growth Screen
  • Revenue growth >15% YoY
  • Earnings growth >20% YoY
  • Revenue acceleration (growth rate increasing)
  • Expanding margins
  • High return on invested capital (>15%)
  • Strong net retention (>110% for SaaS)
Quality Screen
  • Consistent revenue growth (5+ years)
  • Stable or expanding margins
  • ROE >15%
  • Low debt/equity
  • High free cash flow conversion
  • Insider ownership >5%
Short Screen
  • Declining revenue or decelerating growth
  • Margin compression
  • Rising receivables / inventory vs. sales
  • Insider selling
  • Valuation premium to peers without justification
  • High short interest with deteriorating fundamentals
  • Accounting red flags (auditor changes, restatements)
Special Situation Screen
  • Recent IPOs / SPACs with lockup expirations
  • Spin-offs in last 12 months
  • Companies emerging from restructuring
  • Activist involvement
  • Management changes at underperforming companies
根据风格运行筛选：
价值型筛选
  • 市盈率（P/E）低于行业中位数
  • 企业价值倍数（EV/EBITDA）低于历史平均值
  • 自由现金流收益率>5%
  • 市净率（P/B）低于1.5倍
  • 过去90天内内部人士增持
  • 股息率高于市场平均水平
成长型筛选
  • 营收同比增长>15%
  • 盈利同比增长>20%
  • 营收加速（增长率持续提升）
  • 利润率扩张
  • 高投入资本回报率（>15%）
  • 高净留存率（SaaS行业>110%）
质量型筛选
  • 连续营收增长（5年以上）
  • 利润率稳定或扩张
  • 净资产收益率（ROE）>15%
  • 低负债权益比
  • 高自由现金流转化率
  • 内部人士持股比例>5%
空头型筛选
  • 营收下滑或增长减速
  • 利润率压缩
  • 应收账款/存货相对销售额上升
  • 内部人士减持
  • 相对于同行存在无理由的估值溢价
  • 高空头持仓且基本面恶化
  • 会计预警信号（审计师变更、财报重述）
特殊情况筛选
  • 近期IPO/SPAC且锁定期即将到期
  • 过去12个月内的分拆上市
  • 完成重组的公司
  • 激进投资者介入
  • 业绩不佳公司的管理层变动

Step 3: Thematic Sweep

步骤3：主题扫描

For thematic ideas, research the theme and identify beneficiaries:
  1. Define the thesis (e.g., "AI infrastructure spending accelerates through 2026")
  2. Map the value chain — who benefits directly vs. indirectly?
  3. Identify pure-play vs. diversified exposure
  4. Assess which names are already "priced in" vs. under-appreciated
  5. Look for second-order beneficiaries that the market hasn't connected to the theme
针对主题类想法，开展主题研究并识别受益者：
  1. 明确核心论点（例如：“AI基础设施支出将在2026年前持续增长”）
  2. 梳理价值链——谁是直接受益者，谁是间接受益者？
  3. 识别纯标的与多元化标的
  4. 评估哪些标的已被“定价反映”，哪些被低估
  5. 寻找市场尚未关联到该主题的二级受益者

Step 4: Idea Presentation

步骤4：想法展示

For each idea that passes the screen, present:
[Company Name] — [Long/Short] — [One-Line Thesis]
MetricValuevs. Peers
Market cap
EV/EBITDA (NTM)
P/E (NTM)
Revenue growth
EBITDA margin
FCF yield
Thesis (3-5 bullets):
  • Why this is mispriced
  • What the market is missing
  • Catalyst to realize value
Key Risks:
  • What would make this wrong
Suggested Next Steps:
  • Build full model? Deep-dive diligence? Expert call?
对于每个通过筛选的想法，展示以下内容：
[公司名称] — [多头/空头] — [一句话核心论点]
指标数值相对同行
市值
企业价值倍数（未来12个月）
市盈率（未来12个月）
营收增长
EBITDA利润率
自由现金流收益率
核心论点（3-5条）：
  • 为何存在定价偏差
  • 市场忽略的点
  • 价值兑现的催化剂
关键风险：
  • 哪些因素会导致判断错误
建议后续步骤：
  • 构建完整模型？深度尽职调查？专家访谈？

Step 5: Output

步骤5：输出结果

  • Shortlist of 5-10 ideas with one-page summaries
  • Screening criteria and methodology documented
  • Comparison table across all ideas
  • Prioritized list: which ideas to research first
  • 5-10个想法的候选名单及单页摘要
  • 记录筛选标准与方法
  • 所有想法的对比表格
  • 优先级列表：优先研究哪些想法

Important Notes

重要提示

  • Screens surface candidates, not conclusions — every screen output needs fundamental work
  • The best ideas often come from intersections (e.g., quality company at value price due to temporary headwind)
  • Avoid crowded trades — check ownership data, short interest, and how many analysts cover the name
  • Contrarian ideas need a catalyst — being early without a catalyst is the same as being wrong
  • Track idea hit rates over time — which screens and approaches produce the best ideas?
  • Short ideas need higher conviction — timing is harder and risk is asymmetric
  • 筛选仅提供候选标的，而非结论——所有筛选结果都需要基本面研究
  • 最佳想法往往来自交叉领域（例如：因短期逆风而被低估的优质公司）
  • 避免拥挤交易——查看持仓数据、空头持仓量以及覆盖该标的的分析师数量
  • 逆向投资想法需要催化剂——提前布局但缺乏催化剂等同于判断错误
  • 长期跟踪想法的命中率——哪些筛选方式和方法能产生最佳想法？
  • 空头想法需要更高的信心——时机把握更难且风险不对称
