Action:ReiteratedDate:01/04/26
The score is primarily supported by a conservative balance sheet and improved profitability, but is held back by weaker cash-flow durability (zero free cash flow in 2025) and a high P/E valuation. Technical indicators are neutral and do not materially strengthen the outlook.
