First-pass take

Pure-play PGM commodity producer with zero AI exposure. FY2025 results (+28% revenue) driven by commodity prices (+13%) and production volume (+11%), not structural leverage. Valuation reasonable (5.8x EV/EBITDA) with net cash, but cyclical earnings and apparent customer concentration offset downside protection.
