First-pass take

Operational turnaround story with 700bps gross margin expansion (33%→40%) and three major projects launching in 2026. However: no explicit AI exposure (EV connector supplier, not AI-driven); still loss-making with execution-dependent profitability claims; heavily leveraged (£5.2m net debt) with £0.6m cash against £3.5m+ capex needs; no valuation data to assess entry point.
