First-pass take

Profitable UK investment bank with improving margins (adjusted profit £3.7m, up from £1.8m loss) and strong financial position; however, M&A/IPO-dependent revenues are cyclical and lack AI exposure. Data analytics investments serve internal efficiency, not client-facing strategy. Service-based model limits operating leverage.
