RBP Investing is a series of blogs designed to educate investors about the Required Business Performance®(RBP®) methodology and the Dow Jones RBP Index Family. Additionally, the RBP Portfolio has been built to enable investors to learn how to invest and track performance using the RBP methodology. RBP Research serves as a forum to discuss the analysis of companies and mutual funds using the RBP methodology.
Required Business Performance® (RBP®) is the revenue necessary to support a given stock price for a given company. It not only tells us the revenue that is necessary, however. It also works all the way back to the RBP components to tell us, at the most granular level, how many iPods, desktops and portables Apple has to sell, how many auctions eBay has to list, or how many packages FedEx has to ship to support its stock price. The key to successful investing lies in having the power to benchmark management's ability to perform against the Required Business Performance implied by the price of the stock. |
