Break Monopolies — a focused screen of China’s tech leaders reveals a small group of highly concentrated, high-quality potential stocks to watch.
Key Points
- More than 60% of A-share listed companies are now classified as high-tech; DataBao screened research from 62 brokerages and identified 130 listed companies as “technology-leading companies.”
- About ~10 firms within the 130 were flagged as having core technologies that could break existing monopolies; examples include Yirui Technology (Yirui Keji 奕瑞科技), Laite Guangdian 莱特光电, and Changyang Keji 长阳科技.
- 11 of 130 companies showed a decline in retail shareholder accounts versus end-Q2 2025, and 4 companies saw shareholder counts drop by more than 10% (e.g., Langxin Jituan 朗新集团, Jida Zhengyuan 吉大正元, Yihua Gufen 意华股份).
- The combined screen (shareholder concentration + institutional consensus) produced only 5 companies that met both criteria: a shareholder-count decline > 5% vs Q2 2025 and consensus net profit growth exceeding 10% for both 2025 and 2026 — labeled “high-quality potential”.
- Investor takeaway: Validate technology claims, watch ownership trends, and size positions to liquidity — rising concentration can support prices but also increase volatility and liquidity risk.

Method and sample
DataBao (数据宝) reviewed coverage from 62 brokerages including Zhongyuan Securities (Zhongyuan Zhengquan 中原证券), Zhongxin Jiantou (Zhongxin Jiantou 中信建投), and China Merchants Securities (China Merchants Securities 招商证券).
The team scanned broker research from the past year for report titles that contained keywords such as “technology leader,” “technical breakthrough,” or “breaking monopoly.”
That screening produced a list of 130 listed companies classified as technology or high-end manufacturing, referred to here as technology-leading companies.

Key findings — what the screen revealed
-
Among the 130 technology-leading companies, about 10 firms were flagged in reports as having core technologies that could break existing monopolies or solve critical industry bottlenecks.
-
Examples from that partial list include Yirui Technology (Yirui Keji 奕瑞科技), Lite-Opto / Laite Optoelectronics (Laite Guangdian 莱特光电), and Changyang Technology (Changyang Keji 长阳科技).
-
From a shareholder-concentration perspective, 11 of the 130 companies showed a decline in retail shareholder accounts compared with the end of Q2 2025.
-
A fall in retail shareholder counts typically points to greater concentration among remaining holders.
-
Four companies saw shareholder counts drop by more than 10%; examples include Langxin Group (Langxin Jituan 朗新集团), Jida Zhengyuan (Jida Zhengyuan 吉大正元), and Yihua Shares (Yihua Gufen 意华股份).
-
When combining shareholder-concentration changes with institutional consensus forecasts, 11 companies were screened and only five met both of these criteria:
-
1) A decline in shareholder count greater than 5% versus Q2 2025.
-
2) Consensus institutional forecasts projecting net profit growth exceeding 10% for both 2025 and 2026.
-
Those five names were highlighted as “high-quality potential” because they pair improving fundamentals with rising ownership concentration.

Why these signals matter — the logic behind the screen
-
Research-reported technological advantage — broker reports that use terms like “technology leader” or “breaking monopoly” often signal differentiated IP, vertical advantages, or the capacity to displace incumbents in tight niches.
-
Shareholder concentration rising while earnings momentum remains strong — a falling retail shareholder count can indicate institutional accumulation or strategic consolidation by insiders.
-
When concentration coincides with double-digit consensus profit growth forecasts, it can point to a higher-probability candidate for sustained outperformance, while also introducing liquidity and volatility considerations.

Investor takeaways — practical things to do next
-
Focus on fundamentals. Confirm technology credentials and earnings trends via company filings and third-party tech validations wherever possible.
-
Watch ownership trends. Falling retail shareholder counts can signal concentration, but dig into institutional-holding changes, block trades, and major shareholder actions to clarify the drivers.
-
Manage risk. Higher ownership concentration can provide price support but also lead to sharp moves if a small group decides to trade.
-
Position size to liquidity. Make sure your position sizing and exit plan reflect the stock’s free float and likely trading volatility.
-
Validate technology claims. Where possible, look for patents, product milestones, customer wins, and independent confirmations cited in analyst reports or company disclosure.

How to read these signals together — a quick checklist
-
Step 1: Confirm the broker language that flagged the company uses “technology leader,” “breakthrough,” or equivalent phrasing.
-
Step 2: Check shareholder-count changes versus the prior quarter to see if retail holdings are falling.
-
Step 3: Verify consensus institutional forecasts for 2025 and 2026.
-
Step 4: Cross-check company disclosures, patent filings, and customer references to validate the technology story.
-
Step 5: Size positions with an eye toward liquidity and potential concentrated-holder activity.
