First-pass take

Mulberry is a traditional luxury goods retailer with zero AI exposure and no strategic technology focus. Post-COVID margin expansion (71.7% gross margin) reflects operational recovery and full-price mix shift rather than structural leverage. Net cash of £25.7m provides financial stability but cannot offset cyclical discretionary positioning during macro uncertainty.
