First-pass take

Data and analytics business with strong operational leverage (21.8% EBIT margin, +110bps expansion North America), but zero explicit AI positioning; elevated net debt (2.7bn, 2.86x EBIT) and financial-services cyclicality limit downside protection, while absence of valuation multiples prevents full assessment.
