What RMBS does

Designs memory-interface chips and licenses memory/security IP that let processors talk to DRAM faster.

Sells memory-interface chips that sit on server memory modules, bought in volume by module makers as each new generation of server memory arrives, and licenses interface and security designs for royalties. Product sales now outweigh licensing, which used to be its main business and grew out of patent licensing to memory makers.

In one line: A memory-interface IP peer of Synopsys.

  • Data-center memory subsystems

What could go right

  • DDR5 server memory upgrade cycle
  • AI memory-bandwidth demand

What could go wrong

  • Licensing/patent litigation risk
  • Customer concentration in memory makers

Moat: narrow (IP / patents, customer qualification). Long-standing patent portfolio and design-in position in DDR5/HBM memory interfaces.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
