$CVNA
cc @duncetancapital @MinotaurStocks @GothamResearch @LKPreserve - spread the love if you can. 1/ @Carvana 2025 10‑K is a masterclass in how related‑party deals and tax accounting can reshape “profitability” without equivalent cash economics. 🧵 2/ 2025 net income = $1.9B.
But operating cash flow is only $1.0B. The gap is driven by:
A $2.8B tax benefit (incl. $2.2B valuation allowance release).
A matching $2.2B TRA expense owed mostly to insiders.
