I feel like the perpetuity factor is crucial for long-term valuations. If they missed that, it could really affect the results.

I'm pretty confident on this one. Just-in-time procurement is all about minimizing inventory, so it's usually preceded by a ship-to-stock approach where you keep inventory on hand.
