• Shift to Net Debt: The Group's financial position weakened from net cash of USD 1.1m to net debt of USD 0.8m. This new leverage, driven by capex-funded growth, introduces financial risk does not present a year ago.

Conclusion

The Group's financial position has weakened, shifting from a net cash position to net debt as capital expenditures funded growth, introducing new financial risk. Concurrently, despite higher profits, operational cash flow has declined sharply, in part due to a inventory build-up, raising concerns about working capital efficiency and the sustainability of its cash generation.

For conducting the valuation, the following peers have been considered: Hardide PLC (LSE: HDD), Victrex PLC (LSE: VCT), etc

Given its current trading levels, the recent strategic investments and partnerships, relative valuation, and associated risks, it is prudent to exit the stock at the current levels.

Hence, a ‘Sell’ recommendation is given on the stock at the Current Market Price of GBX 24.96 as of 24 December 2025, at 08:05 AM GMT.
