RBP^®

The revenue growth necessary to support the current stock price. Required Business Performance^® is used as a benchmark against which to measure management’s ability to perform in the future. It is calculated using a reverse discounted cash flow valuation model that uses the current stock price as the primary input.

RBP^® Probability

The likelihood that management will deliver the Required Business Performance^® to support the stock price. It is calculated by fitting the company’s historical revenue growth to a distribution, then finding the company’s Required Business Performance within this historical distribution.
In the hypothetical example below, the company’s RBP^® Probability, represented by green, is 35% while its Behavioral Risk Indicator, represented by red, is 65%. RBP® Probability

Behavioral Risk Indicator

The likelihood that investors’ systematic behavioral biases have caused misalignment between the stock price and management’s ability to deliver. The Behavioral Risk Indicator is designed to capture the impact that human psychology has on the subjective valuation process used by investors. It is defined as one minus the RBP^® Probability.
In the hypothetical example below, the company’s RBP^® Probability, represented by green, is 35% while its Behavioral Risk Indicator, represented by red, is 65%.
