Thats the only measure of real profitability - GAAP.
Free cash flow includes stock based compensation. Thats a real expanse and turns negative cashflow to positive. But it dilutes existing shareholders, you would like to see positive cashflow EXCLUDING stock based compensation
- ronhav3 4y agoIf GAAP is the only measure, then Amazon and Salesforce have been utter failures for 20+ years, only returning 120,000% and 4000% returns to shareholders. In fact, if an investor went by GAAP, he would have missed the entire massive SaaS boom of the past decade.
