The thesis, from the filings

Financial Gravity Companies, Inc. earns about -161% on equity, but has diluted owners by 156% over 5 years — worth asking whether the growth reaches owners. The cash-flow models don't apply cleanly here — the ledger says why below.Whether it’s worth owning at today’s price is the last question — and yours to answer, below.

seeing a moat in the numbers →
Management signal · capital allocation
+156% shares · 5y
