The thesis, from the filings

Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. earns about 59% on invested capital, far above its ~9% cost of capital, but has diluted owners by 1026% over 5 years — a real edge showing up in the numbers. The estimate methods put fair value between $36.87 and $735.62 a share.Whether it’s worth owning at today’s price is the last question — and yours to answer, below.

iii. Is this a good business?

It earned about 59% on invested capital, year after year, against a ~9% cost of capital — the footprint of real pricing power. Competition usually drags returns like this back down; here it hasn't.

Management signal · capital allocation

Share count is up 1026% over 5 years — owners have been diluted. Worth asking what they got for it. Total debt has risen 212% over the same window.
