I think their take is that the valuation is a BS metric. Sure it is a calculation based on the cash paid for the equity but that doesn't mean that someone is going to go in and pay the $X valuated for the 100% equity.

As they say, profit doesn't make you happy but I'd rather cry in a Pagani Zonda.
