Warnings

⚠ Stock-based employee pay equals 55% of profits. This dilutes existing shareholders, so cash flow alone overstates what owners really earn.

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
