First-pass take

Market-leading FM provider with strong FCF (£143m) and balance sheet (0.8x leverage), but AI exposure is primarily internal efficiency and data-centre infrastructure enablement (£13bn medium-term opportunity), not direct revenue. Operating leverage evident in MEI programme (£25m FY25 savings, path to >5% margin by FY27), but currently masked by growth investments and inflation; margin actually declined YoY despite 13% revenue growth. No valuation multiples disclosed.
