Why it matters

Fast growers that are also genuinely profitable. It is best used as a valuation shortlist, not a buy list: the strongest candidates still need balance-sheet, cash-flow and competitive-position checks.

What to check next

Look for durable margins, sensible debt, cash conversion and whether the market is pricing in a temporary problem or a permanent decline.

Main risk

Cheap or high-quality screens can still contain value traps when earnings are peaking, accounting quality is poor or the business model is losing relevance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the High Growth, Strong Fundamentals collection?

Fast growers that are also genuinely profitable. It currently holds 190 stocks, each rated by Openbook's Reward and Risk scores. Growth is more durable when it is funded by real profits.

How are High Growth, Strong Fundamentals stocks selected?

Constituents are chosen by a rules-based screen over the full UK and US common-stock universe, then ranked by market capitalisation.

How often is the High Growth, Strong Fundamentals list updated?

It is rebuilt from live market data, so the constituents and their rankings update as prices and company fundamentals change — there is no fixed, hand-edited list.

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.

Openbook Reward and Risk ratings and factor scores are quantitative signals for research, not investment advice. Data may be delayed. Some US-listed names carry partial factor coverage.
