First-pass take

Loss-making luxury automaker with negative FCF (£299m outflow, 2022) and net debt of £766m. No explicit AI exposure. While targeting margin expansion (40%+ gross margin) and FCF positive from 2024, current fundamentals prohibit deep-dive: £528m net loss, discretionary demand, and near-term debt maturities (Nov 2025/26) offer minimal downside protection.
