First-pass take

McBride is a defensive private label cleaning products manufacturer with zero AI exposure and flat revenue growth (0.7% constant currency). While operationally sound (1.2x net debt/EBITDA, 8.5x interest cover) and market-leading, it's misaligned with stockemon's AI beneficiary focus. Top 10 customers = 53% revenue concentration.
