The score is driven primarily by mixed financials: very strong free cash flow and solid EBITDA profitability, but materially offset by high leverage and ongoing net losses. Technicals are a secondary positive, showing a clear uptrend with supportive momentum. Valuation confidence is limited due to missing P/E and dividend yield data.
