Well, I submit that net cash flows can be positive even while earnings profits are stagnant if the company has to account for all their acquisitions as purchases. That's because a company swaps stock for the other company and experiences no cash outflow. They are using the pumped up value of their stock to finance future cash flows. It's a virtuous cycle. Don't pay attention to the I/S. It's meaningless and easily manipulated. I know because among many other things, I used to be a CPA. Cash flows, in particular, operating cash flows or free cash flow is where the smart folks look.
