Hot Take | April 19, 2026, 1:07 a.m. EDT

TWN presents a contradictory realization: while the stock price has rallied ~13% recently, the historical dividend record reveals massive NAV erosion with payouts doubling year-over-year twice in the last 5 years, signaling a value trap despite the recently reported high P/E and extremely crowded NAV/Price metrics (P/S ~80x).
