First-pass take

CFD broker with AI-enhanced platform (37% of new clients onboarded via automation) but no AI revenue exposure. FY25 margin collapsed 10.6pp despite flat revenue, with S&M spend at 86% of revenue; company attributes this to IPO disruption and ineffective revenue initiative. Zero financial debt and diversified geography are strengths, but business is macro-cyclical and highly volatility-dependent—antithetical to downside protection.
