What the filings flag
-30%Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -30% and slipping from -28% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.
+5.2%/yrShare-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +16% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+5.2%/yr). The count is GROWING — existing holders are being diluted. That's ~5.2% shaved off per-share growth every year — total profit has to grow that much just to keep earnings-per-share flat, and a stake held since FY2022 has been diluted ~16%.
2065% of revStock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 2065% of revenue in FY2025 — about $0.81 per diluted share. Meaningful — reported free cash flow flatters the economics, since SBC is a real cost paid in shares.
