I think I disagree about the red flag part. Why should you not be allowed to like it and feel valued while not being a stakeholder. How do you know that there is no way for him to become a stakeholder at some point in the future? Ever heard of bonus and commission payments?
My main point is not to get emotional over a job or your relationship with the company or your coworkers. I’m not saying that building professional relationships with your coworkers is unimportant, it’s the most important type of influence you have in the company.
As far as him “becoming a stakeholder through bonuses and commissions”, I agree. If they value him, they will place a monetary amount on that value....
You will know if they feel you are a “valued member of the team” when you get your annual raise. People pay for what they value.

What's more I don't see how this comment answers op's question? Your general advice seems to be "just do not do it"?
Other people had already posted good advice about how to ask. I’m giving the suggestion on what to do if it doesn’t work.
I’ve been cited as being “contrarian” before so this is another example I guess.....
