What the filings flag
-25%Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -25% and rising from -39% — well below its ~9% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.
+7.3%/yrShare-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +22% over the last 3 years to FY2025 (+7.3%/yr). The count is GROWING — existing holders are being diluted. That's ~7.3% 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 ~22%.
