Extremely overvalued stock! This is a very capital intensive business which is why the free cash flow has been negative almost every year since the company went public. Investors make the mistake of valuing a business based on net income (accounting profit), however, in reality its cash that matters. A company that doesn't earn a lot of cash is not a good investment. This is why airlines and car manufacturers have always been struggling. The capital intensive nature of these businesses never makes them a good long-term investment.
