> being able to grow revenues from acquired companies. correction: being able to inflate and cover up their losses by acquiring already successful companies

  Doesn’t matter what you call it, the system works apparently. Not many companies can say that.

    It is important when you want to draw conclusions; you should use factual data, not your emotions

      Your response appears to be much more emotionally driven than articbull’s. He is simply acknowledging their business model and the fact it is clearly a system that works, you’re assigning it some kind of value.

        I read it again and i can see that, you are right, that wasn't the intent, i felt the comment was trying to downplay losses, so i felt the need to remind the differences, even more so since they just announced laying off 10k employees, including destroying the entire AR/VR/MR team

          Yeah sorry I didn't mean it to come across that way! I see their core business as changing, and they're being resourceful in leveraging acquisitions to continue to deliver shareholder value into the future. I think this is a strategy that many companies have historically executed on very badly.
