If a company has a higher SBC-to-Revenue ratio than its peers, what might this suggest to an analyst regarding its reported operating margins?
- The company is simply more efficient since it doesn't have to pay its employees using scarce cash.
- The company's GAAP operating margins may be lower than peers, even if its 'Adjusted' (cash) margins are similar.
- The company's Cash Flow from Operations is likely lower than its reported Net Income figure in this case.
- The company's P/E multiple will likely be lower because of these elevated non-cash compensation charges on the books.
