First-pass take

Market-leading ice cream company with resilient demand (4.2% organic growth, outpacing category) and strong brands, but no strategic AI exposure. EBITDA margin compressed 100bps YoY despite €250m productivity savings; elevated net debt €2.97bn post-IPO with modest 2026 guidance (40–60bps margin recovery). Newly listed with no valuation multiples.
