How are Defence & Aerospace stocks selected?

How often is the Defence & Aerospace list updated?
Prices, ratings and rankings rebuild from live market data every time the page loads. The membership of the basket itself is reviewed and revised by hand on a regular cadence, so newly-listed or no-longer-relevant companies are added and removed as the theme moves.
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.
