First-pass take

UK residential housebuilder with zero AI exposure. 74% revenue from government-backed affordable housing (SAHP program); weak Open Market (units down 11%). Strong liquidity (£1.13bn facilities, targeting net cash £100m) and low leverage offset by £3.2bn inventory, £303.6m building-safety provision, and margin pressure.
