What the filings flag
1%Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is 1% and rising from -14% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.
+3.7%/yrShare-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +11% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+3.7%/yr). The count is GROWING — existing holders are being diluted. That's ~3.7% 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 ~11%.
12% of revStock-based comp load.Stock-based compensation ran 12% of revenue and 71% of free cash flow in FY2025 — about $1.61 per diluted share. Heavy — a large slice of 'free cash flow' is really being paid out in stock, so the true owner cash per share is well below the headline.
