Why TOST got burnt


TLDR: Share Dilution

Reports a beat on revenue and a beat on earnings, tanks 20%, wtf?!

From press release:

Revenue for the full year 2021 was $1,705 million, an increase of 107% from the prior fiscal year.

What is should have said:

Revenue per share for the full year 2021 was $1.01. For fiscal year 2020 revenue per share was $1.20. This represents a decrease in revenue per share of 15.83%!

Calculations

2021 512/508.8

2020 202/202.5

So it’s no wonder growth stocks like TOST are getting murdered, you have multiple compression with lower revenue per share.

Due your own due diligence and don’t trust random internet strangers
