First-pass take

Strong operational momentum (37% profit growth, 3.0% margin target early delivery) in defensive sectors (93% public/regulated, £237.6m net cash). However, zero AI exposure and missing valuation data eliminate strategic fit; construction cyclicality and UK government spending dependency remain material risks.
