The thesis, from the filings

Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. earns about -4% on invested capital, but has diluted owners by 111% 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 invested capital

It earned an average -4% on invested capital over 5 years. Compare that to what it costs to fund the business.

seeing a moat in the numbers →
Management signal · capital allocation
+111% shares · 5y

Share count is up 111% over 5 years — owners have been diluted. Worth asking what they got for it. Total debt has risen 16% over the same window.
