Data Source Map
Data sources needed for China stock research
InvestGPT explains the core source categories behind China equity research: filings, financial statements, quotes, news, research signals, event data, and AI synthesis.
Direct answer
China stock research needs multiple source categories: filings, financial statements, market data, news, research reports, industry signals, event timelines, and generated synthesis that keeps those sources distinct.
No single source captures A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and Chinese ADRs completely.
Source type matters: a filing, a quote, a news story, and an AI summary have different reliability.
InvestGPT is designed to combine sources while keeping the research boundary visible.
The core source categories
A useful China equity stack includes exchange filings, company financial statements, current quotes, historical prices, news, sell-side research summaries, local industry signals, and event-to-company mapping.
- Filings and statements: reported facts and periods.
- Market data: current price, volume, returns, and valuation context.
- News and events: catalysts that explain what changed.
- Research signals: interpretation that must be checked against evidence.
- AI synthesis: the layer that organizes and explains the evidence.
Why China is harder than a US-only workflow
China-related companies can trade in mainland China, Hong Kong, and the United States. Names, tickers, currencies, reporting calendars, and disclosure formats often differ.
What source-aware AI should do
A source-aware AI tool should not flatten all evidence into one confident paragraph. It should tell the user which claims come from filings, which come from market data, and which are interpretive.
