The thesis, from the filings

J & Friends Holdings Ltd earns about -89% on equity, but has diluted owners by 94% 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.

iii. Is this a good business?
Moat signal · return on equity
-89% avg · 5y
FY21 —FY22 —FY23 —FY24 —FY25 -89%

It earned an average -89% on equity over 5 years. Compare that to what it costs to fund the business.

Management signal · capital allocation
+94% shares · 5y

Share count is up 94% over 5 years — owners have been diluted. Worth asking what they got for it. Total debt has risen 620% over the same window.

Signals, not verdicts — read from the filings above. Numbers don’t prove a moat; they show its footprint. You decide.
