Bull case
RBA would need investors to value it at roughly 42x earnings — about 17x more generous than today's 25x forward P/E. That requires meaningful multiple expansion on top of continued earnings growth.
Wall Street verdict, consensus price target, and analyst rating breakdown — everything needed to frame the risk/reward at today's price.
Three scenarios for where RBA stock could go
RBA would need investors to value it at roughly 42x earnings — about 17x more generous than today's 25x forward P/E. That requires meaningful multiple expansion on top of continued earnings growth.
At 32x on FY1 earnings, the base case reflects a reasonable but not stretched valuation. It prices in continued growth without assuming an exceptional setup.
If investor confidence fades or macro conditions deteriorate, a 5x multiple contraction could push RBA down roughly 21% from where it trades now.
