Action:Reiterated

The score is primarily held back by weak profitability and higher leverage despite strong revenue growth and improved cash generation. Technicals are mildly supportive in the short term (price above key shorter moving averages), while valuation is constrained by negative earnings and no dividend support.
Positive Factors
Cash generation rebound
The company moved to materially positive free cash flow in 2025 with operating cash flow rising to ~6.1m. Consistent positive cash generation reduces short-term funding pressure, supports reinvestment or debt servicing, and is a durable indicator of improving underlying operations.
Negative Factors
Elevated and rising leverage
Debt-to-equity roughly doubled year-over-year, creating structural financial risk. Higher leverage increases fixed financing costs, reduces flexibility to weather demand shocks, and raises refinancing exposure, all of which can impair long-term investment and growth plans if margins do not recover.
