What the filings flag
+66.1%Accruals ratio.Net operating assets grew +66.1% relative to their average in FY2025 — the accrual component of earnings. Accruals are building sharply — a large slice of profit sits in operating assets, not cash; Richardson/Sloan link high accruals to weaker future returns as they reverse. The cash-flow cross-check agrees: reported earnings ran behind operating cash by -34% of net operating assets.
-23%Return on invested capital.Return on invested capital is -23% and rising from -30% — well below its ~10% cost of capital, so reinvested dollars may be destroying value, not building it.
+85.5%/yrShare-count dilution.Diluted share count changed +171% over the last 2 years to FY2025 (+85.5%/yr). The count is GROWING — existing holders are being diluted. That's ~85.5% 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 FY2023 has been diluted ~171%.
