First-pass take

Tandem is a micro-cap retail distributor with no meaningful AI exposure beyond tactical content-generation tools. Strong FY25 turnaround (£850k profit vs £60k loss) and balance sheet recovery (net debt halved to £1.9m) offset by cyclical discretionary demand, slowing growth (6.2% topline, -17.5% in toys), and lack of structural operating leverage as opex rises faster than revenue.
