What the filings flag
-144%Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -144% and slipping from -36% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.
+9.7%/yrShare-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +29% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+9.7%/yr). The count is GROWING — existing holders are being diluted. That's ~9.7% 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 ~29%.
25% of revStock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 25% of revenue in FY2025 — about $0.11 per diluted share. Meaningful — reported free cash flow flatters the economics, since SBC is a real cost paid in shares.
