china-thesis-tracker
China-thesis-tracker monitors investment theses for A-share portfolio positions and watchlist companies by tracking core logic, key assumptions, catalysts, financial metrics, and risk factors over time. Use this skill to maintain thesis validity, update thesis components when market conditions or company fundamentals change, and document how new data affects investment conviction through triggers like "A股持仓逻辑跟踪" or "update thesis for [company]."

# china-thesis-tracker
## Purpose
Track and maintain **A股投资逻辑/thesis** for portfolio positions and watchlist names, ensuring thesis validity is continuously monitored.
## Data Sources
### Primary: iFind MCP (Tier-1 付费) / AkShare MCP (Tier-2 免费备选)
```python
get_quote(ticker) → Current price, valuation
get_historical_data(ticker) → Price trajectory
get_financials(ticker, "income") → Financial performance
# News (china-news MCP — separate server)
get_stock_news(ticker="{{TICKER}}") → News affecting thesis
get_industry_stocks(industry="...") → Peer context
```
### Secondary Sources
- 巨潮公告 — corporate actions and filings
- 业绩说明会 — management commentary
- 券商研报 — analyst updates
- Wind / Choice — ownership and flow data
## Workflow
### Step 1: Define / Load Thesis
**Thesis statement template:**
```
公司:[Company]([Ticker])
行业:[Industry]
方向:[Long / Short / Watch]
核心投资逻辑 (3-5 bullet points):
1. [Key driver 1]
2. [Key driver 2]
3. [Key driver 3]
目标价:¥XX.XX (X% upside/downside)
时间 horizon:[6M / 1Y / 2Y]
置信度:[High / Medium / Low]
```
**Thesis components:**
| Component | Description | Example |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| 核心逻辑 (Core thesis) | Why will the stock move? | 批价上行驱动盈利超预期 |
| 关键假设 (Key assumptions) | What must be true? | 批价 >1000元, 动销增速 >15% |
| 催化剂 (Catalysts) | What triggers re-rating? | Q1业绩, 批价数据, 政策变化 |
| 风险因素 (Risks) | What could break the thesis? | 批价下行, 竞品放量, 政策风险 |
| 目标价 (Target) | Fair value estimate | ¥2000 (基于25x PE) |
| 止损位 (Stop loss) | Downside risk limit | ¥1500 (对应20x PE) |
### Step 2: Track Key Data Points
**Company-specific KPIs:**
| KPI | Frequency | Source | Trend |
|-----|-----------|--------|-------|
| e.g., 批价 | Weekly | 渠道调研, 新闻 | ↑ / → / ↓ |
| e.g., 动销增速 | Monthly | 经销商反馈 | ↑ / → / ↓ |
| e.g., 产能利用率 | Quarterly | 年报/中报 | ↑ / → / ↓ |
**Financial metrics to track:**
| Metric | Last Reported | Trend | Thesis Impact |
|--------|--------------|-------|---------------|
| Revenue growth | | | |
| Gross margin | | | |
| Net margin | | | |
| ROE | | | |
| Net debt/EBITDA | | | |
**Market metrics:**
| Metric | Current | 52W High | 52W Low | Thesis Relevance |
|--------|---------|----------|---------|------------------|
| Stock price | | | | |
| Market cap | | | | |
| PE (TTM) | | | | |
| PB | | | | |
| YTD return | | | | |
### Step 3: Monitor Catalysts
**Catalyst checklist:**
| Catalyst | Expected Date | Status | Outcome | Thesis Impact |
|----------|--------------|--------|---------|----------------|
| Q1 季报 | Apr 25 | Pending | | |
| 批价数据 | Weekly | Ongoing | 稳定在980元 | Positive |
| 股东大会 | May 15 | Scheduled | | |
**Catalyst outcome assessment:**
- **Confirming**: Result supports thesis → increase conviction
- **Neutral**: Result as expected → maintain position
- **Breaking**: Result contradicts thesis → reduce/exit position
### Step 4: Thesis Validity Check
**Regular review questions:**
1. **Has the thesis changed?**
- Core drivers still intact?
- New information adding to or subtracting from thesis?
2. **Are assumptions still valid?**
- Key assumptions: still on track?
- Any material change to underlying business?
3. **Is the timing right?**
- Catalyst timeline progressing as expected?
- Market pricing in the thesis?
4. **Is the risk/reward still favorable?**
- Upside/downside ratio updated?
- Entry price still reasonable?
5. **Should thesis be adjusted?**
- Target price update
- Risk factors added/removed
- Time horizon extended/contracted
### Step 5: Thesis Status
**Status categories:**
| Status | Definition | Action |
|--------|-----------|--------|
| Intact (逻辑 intact) | All assumptions hold, catalysts on track | Maintain / add on weakness |
| Under pressure (承压) | Some assumptions challenged, thesis not broken | Monitor closely, define exit criteria |
| Broken (逻辑破) | Core thesis invalidated | Exit position, document lessons |
| Evolving (演进中) | Thesis needs update based on new info | Update thesis statement, re-evaluate |
### Step 6: Update Documentation
**Thesis update log:**
```
[公司] 投资逻辑更新 [Date]
一、当前状态:[Intact / Under pressure / Broken / Evolving]
二、本期间重要变化:
- [Change 1]: [Impact on thesis]
- [Change 2]: [Impact on thesis]
三、数据追踪:
[Key metrics updated]
四、催化剂进展:
[Catalyst status update]
五、决策:
- [Maintain / Add / Reduce / Exit]
- [Rationale]
六、后续关注:
- [Next check-in date]
- [Key metrics to watch]
```
### Step 7: Portfolio-Level Review
**Aggregate view:**
| Position | Thesis Status | Conviction | Days Held | P&L | Next Catalyst | Action |
|----------|--------------|------------|-----------|-----|---------------|--------|
| | | | | | | |
**Portfolio-level insights:**
- Which theses are working? Common factors?
- Which theses are breaking? Common risks?
- Concentration risk (too many bets on similar thesis?)
- Hedge effectiveness ( shorts protecting longs?)
