What the filings flag
-1%Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -1% and steady — well below its ~9% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.
+12.0%Accruals ratio.Net operating assets grew +12.0% relative to their average in FY2025 — the accrual component of earnings. Accruals are building faster than is comfortable — part of profit sits in receivables, inventory or capitalized costs rather than cash. The cash-flow cross-check agrees: reported earnings ran in line with operating cash by -4% of net operating assets.
+0.9%/yrShare-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +2% over the last 2 years to FY2025 (+0.9%/yr). Roughly flat — buybacks are about offsetting stock comp, not shrinking the count. Per-share value isn't being meaningfully helped or hurt by the count.
