COMPX
COMPX is a financial term used to describe the performance of a company’s stock relative to the performance of the S&P 500 index. The S&P 500 index is a benchmark index that tracks the performance of 500 of the largest publicly traded companies in the United States. The COMPX is calculated by taking the company’s stock price and dividing it by the S&P 500 index. The resulting number is then multiplied by 100 to give a percentage. This percentage is then used to compare the performance of the company’s stock to the performance of the S&P 500 index.
History of COMPX
The COMPX was first developed in the late 1990s as a way to measure the performance of a company’s stock relative to the performance of the S&P 500 index. The COMPX was created to provide investors with a more accurate measure of a company’s stock performance than the traditional market capitalization method. The COMPX has since become a widely used tool for investors to compare the performance of a company’s stock to the performance of the S&P 500 index.
