Why it matters
Confirmed uptrends with the strongest momentum. 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.

Momentum Leaders
Confirmed uptrends with the strongest momentum.
Momentum is among the most persistent factors in markets: recent winners tend to keep winning. This collection gathers larger companies in a confirmed uptrend (50-day above 200-day), ranked by the Openbook Reward rating.
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 Momentum Leaders collection?
Confirmed uptrends with the strongest momentum. It currently holds 3548 stocks, each rated by Openbook's Reward and Risk scores. Momentum is among the most persistent factors in markets: recent winners tend to keep winning.
How are Momentum Leaders 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 Momentum Leaders 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.
