EDMP Inc Information

EDMP, Inc. utilizes an investing formula that is logical, understandable, and embraces both growth and value disciplines as we search for great businesses that are also outstanding investments. Quite simply, our formula for investing success (GB @ GV = GI) is based upon the fact that over time market prices and earnings align. Our EDMP, Inc. F.A.S.T. Graphs™ demonstrates how the company's stock price aligns with earnings over time and how returns correlate to business growth. However, there are periods when the market either overvalues or undervalues the company. These periods of undervaluation offer the astute investor the opportunity to purchase the stocks at a discount. Likewise, the uninformed investor could overpay during other periods. The long-term relationship between earnings and market price holds true for individual equities. Therefore, our strategy is based upon investing in great businesses that have been, and are positioned, to consistently increase their earnings at double-digit rates over time, and are trading at or below their True Worth™. We focus on earnings growth because as our research and our software clearly demonstrates, earnings ultimately determine long-term investor returns. While we prize companies that have a track record of consistently strong earnings growth, we realize that overpaying for these great businesses can negatively impact expected returns. Therefore, we focus our efforts on purchasing shares of these great businesses when they are trading at or below their True Worth™. We believe that over time this strategy of focusing on great businesses that are trading at great valuations will result in long-term great investments.
