Velo interesting post and I'm sure SB will answer himself. Remember he has just got in so did well to avoid PSN previously based on your data.
Fundamental to SB changing his view is a change in the "payout" model for PSN. They are now instead of paying out 100% of free cash flow as dividends, retaining 50% plus in the businees. His argument is that retained investment long term is greatly value adding and is not factored into PSN SP.
The data you look is all historical and whilst PSN have announced the change its not factored into any of the historic data you are trawling.
If anything your data is hugely complementary to the case SB is arguing. Because of the payout policy PSN has underperformed !!
You've massively enhanced SBs position for me [in a good way] without knowing you've done it. Excellent example of the law of unintended consequences !!
