Correct, it's stored in the AB database. Note you can view these fields by selecting View/Symbol Information and you'll get a pane with these fundamental values.
I don't know how often each data field changes but any ratio that has earnings as a numerator will change once per quarter when reported..like EPS ... practically I'd say once a week, but I have to qualify that and say I'm not a user. For EOD price day you need to run daily downloads.
