First-pass take

Strong operational execution (52.6% EBITDA growth, 500bp margin expansion) and fortress balance sheet (0.7x leverage). However, zero AI exposure—traditional veterinary pharma with biologics pipeline. Pending Charterhouse acquisition introduces material uncertainty. Fair valuation at 13x EBITDA/21x earnings insufficient to justify deep-dive.
