FAQ

Answers to common questions about Openbook, data, subscriptions, and support.

Is Openbook investment advice?

No. Openbook provides educational analytics and data tools only. Nothing on the platform constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.

How often is market data updated?

Financial fundamentals (earnings, dividends, balance sheet data) update when companies publish results — typically twice a year for UK-listed companies. Live screens (dividend leaders, value stocks) refresh every six hours.

Which stocks does Openbook cover?

Openbook covers every company listed on the London Stock Exchange, including the FTSE 100, FTSE 250, FTSE All-Share, and AIM. That is approximately 1,800 LSE-listed equities.

What is the 7-factor model?

Openbook scores each company 0–100 on seven factors: Growth, Momentum, Profitability, and Valuation (Reward factors) plus Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Volatility (Risk factors). These combine into a Reward rating and a Risk rating visible on every equity page.

Do I need an account to use Openbook?

Many features — equity analysis pages, educational guides, glossary, and calculators — are accessible without an account. A free account unlocks the portfolio tracker and additional features. Paid plans add deeper data access.

Can I use Openbook for student or academic projects?

Yes. Contact education@openbookanalytics.com for student and academic options.

How do I track my dividend income?

The Openbook portfolio tracker shows projected dividend income, ex-dividend dates, and historical payments for your holdings. Add positions via the portfolio tab after logging in.

How do I get technical support?
