First-pass take

Christie is a transactional business services group with no AI exposure or innovation narrative. Its PFS division suffered a 22% drop in transaction volumes due to rising interest rates; SISS (Vennersys SaaS) shows promise but remains unprofitable. The balance sheet weakened sharply: net funds fell 91% to £0.6m, equity down 61%, dividend slashed 73%. Cyclical M&A-dependent revenues lack the tailwinds the strategy requires.
