Warnings

⚠ Stock-based employee pay equals 773% of profits. This dilutes existing shareholders, so cash flow alone overstates what owners really earn.

ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $14.14 (from 11 analysts). Our estimate is 46% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.

Key Risks

P/E alone misleads — earnings depressed by growth investment
Cyclical or commodity businesses may be misclassified as platforms
Terminal value dominance suggests sensitivity to long-run assumptions
