How China scores
Where the top 25 come from, and how the whole Chinese market sits against the global universe. StockRank is a global percentile, so the universe splits evenly into five bands by construction; a market that piles up on the right is scoring well as a whole.

A-Shares Are Not the China You See in Headlines
This page covers mainland A-shares: Shanghai and Shenzhen listings accessible to foreign investors through Stock Connect. It is the largest market MoatMap scores outside the US (3,400+ names) and one of the least efficiently priced: retail-dominated, thinly covered internationally, and home to entire industrial ecosystems with no listed equivalent anywhere else.
MoatMap scored 3,544 Chinese stocks on 2026-10-01; 3,544 cleared the $250M market-cap floor this list applies. The market's average StockRank is 33. Healthcare is the most represented sector in the top 10 (7 names).
Most foreign commentary about 'Chinese stocks' concerns the US-listed ADRs and Hong Kong H-shares. The onshore A-share market is a different animal: over 5,000 listings dominated by domestic retail investors, with sector depth in advanced manufacturing, industrial automation, speciality chemicals and consumer brands that simply doesn't exist offshore. Retail dominance means momentum and sentiment drive prices to extremes in both directions, fertile conditions for a disciplined factor screen.
The policy backdrop has turned shareholder-friendly in form: regulators now push listed companies toward dividends and buybacks, and state funds have intervened repeatedly to support the market. Meanwhile valuations sit near decade lows relative to book value, with genuinely world-leading manufacturers priced like commodity businesses. The bear case (property overhang, deflationary pressure, geopolitics) is real, which is why position sizing and the Quality score matter more here than in any other market on this site.
Access and data notes: MoatMap's Chinese universe is the Stock Connect eligible set (what foreign investors can actually buy), and insider/buyback data comes from exchange-published executive shareholding changes and repurchase programmes. Disclosure exists and is structured, but arrives with Chinese characteristics, such as programme-level buyback reporting rather than daily prints.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the top-ranked Chinese stocks right now?
- The table above ranks MoatMap's top 25 A-share stocks (Shanghai .SS / Shenzhen .SZ, Stock Connect eligible) by StockRank, a composite of Quality, Value and Momentum percentiles. It refreshes monthly with a stated data date.
- What's the difference between A-shares, H-shares and ADRs?
- A-shares list onshore in Shanghai/Shenzhen in yuan; H-shares are mainland companies listed in Hong Kong; ADRs are US-listed depositary receipts (mostly the internet platforms). This page covers A-shares only; the Hong Kong page covers HKEX listings. The same company can trade in more than one venue at meaningfully different prices.
- Can foreigners actually buy A-shares?
- Yes. Stock Connect routes orders through Hong Kong into the eligible Shanghai/Shenzhen list, and the larger international brokers support it. MoatMap's Chinese universe is exactly that eligible set, so everything on this page is in principle buyable by a foreign investor, subject to your broker's coverage.
- How risky are Chinese A-shares?
- The risks are macro and political as much as company-level: property-sector drag, deflationary pressure, regulatory shifts and US-China tensions can reprice the whole market regardless of fundamentals. The counterweight is a decade-low starting valuation and improving shareholder-return policy. Treat country risk as a separate, deliberate position-sizing decision on top of stock selection.
- How often does this China ranking refresh?
- A new edition forms on the first scoring run of each calendar month and the page states its data-as-of date. For a daily view, use the ranked-stocks screener filtered to China.
