How should I use the Reward and Risk ratings?

Openbook's Reward rating combines a stock's growth, momentum, profitability and valuation into a single 0–100 score, and the Risk rating scores financial strength, volatility and size. Use them to compare names within this theme — broadly, a higher Reward alongside a lower Risk is more attractive. They are quantitative research signals, not investment advice.
