What are the remarkable points?

Volume and transaction activity both hit record highs
Let’s take a look at the overall performance of the A-share market in 2021.
A reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News sorted out relevant data and found that, in terms of overall volume, as of the end of 2021, there were 4,685 A-share listed companies, and the market value of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen exceeded 90 trillion yuan, all of which were new highs at the end of the year.
The total market value of the Nasdaq exchange is about 178.9 trillion, which also means that the market value of the A-share market has accounted for more than half of the Nasdaq.
According to data released by China Securities Depository and Clearing Co., Ltd., as of November 2021, the number of investors who have opened A-share accounts has reached 195 million. If the accounts are shared equally, a single account will be about 34,100 yuan.
At the same time, the transaction activity of the A-share market in 2021 will also increase again, and the total transaction volume for the year will exceed 257 trillion yuan, setting a historical record.
The overall average daily turnover rate was 1.32%, hitting a new high in six years.
The average daily turnover has returned to the trillion-dollar scale. The turnover of 149 trading days in the year exceeded one trillion, accounting for more than 60%, and the number of days hit a record high.
In terms of average daily turnover, the first, second and third runner-up were won by Kweichow Moutai, LONGi and BYD respectively.
Kweichow Moutai jumped to the top spot from the third place in 2020.
Both LONGi and BYD entered the top three for the first time, and new energy companies such as CATL, Tianqi Lithium, Northern Rare Earth, and Three Gorges Energy also appeared in the top ten.
The CSI 1000 Index is the most outstanding performer
The volume and transaction activity have both reached new highs. What about the performance of the Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen markets?
A reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News found that among the major stock indexes, the China Securities 1000 Index performed the most, followed by the ChiNext Index (see Figure 1).
The Shanghai Composite Index and the Shenzhen Component Index rose relatively late, while the SSE 50 Index and the CSI 300 Index, which are dominated by large-cap stocks, both fell.
The annual amplitude of the Shanghai Composite Index was only 12.06%, the lowest amplitude in the past year.
Interestingly, if divided according to the market value range, stocks with a market value of more than 100 billion at the end of 2020 will fall by an average of 1% in 2021.
Stocks in other market value ranges rose to varying degrees, and the lower the market value, the higher the increase.
At the end of 2020, stocks with a market value of less than 2 billion performed the most, with an average increase of 42.3% in 2021, reflecting the structural changes of the rise of small-cap stocks and the downturn of large-cap stocks last year.
From the perspective of individual stock price growth, excluding new stocks listed in 2021, a total of 323 individual stocks have doubled their stock prices, hitting a new high since 2016. Hubei Yihua, Lianchuang, and Sente are among the top three annual A-share gainers; 28 Only a single stock will fall by more than 50% in 2021, and Zhonggong Education, which has experienced a sharp decline in its performance in its third quarterly report, dominates the annual decliner list, with a cumulative decline of 77.63%, making it the worst-performing stock in the year.
"The most stringent new delisting regulations in history" have accelerated the implementation of delisting
While some listed companies ushered in a highlight moment, many listed companies also left the market sadly.
Under the "strictest new delisting regulations in history", the delisting of "inferior" listed companies has accelerated. In 2021, a total of 17 listed companies will be delisted from A-shares (excluding 3 mergers and acquisitions), an increase of 1 compared with 2020 , the number of delistings reached a record high, of which 6 shares were delisted due to face value and 7 shares were delisted due to consecutive losses.
In addition, 74 stocks were ST (excluding delisted ST stocks), and the number decreased compared with the previous two years.
There were 38 individual stocks that were subject to ST because their net assets or net profits and operating income did not meet the standards at the end of the period, accounting for nearly 51%.
