Cash sits near 518.0M while net debt is 1.5B. The leverage stack is moving the wrong way.

Quarterly Revenue Runway

Actual revenue bars, consensus revenue where available, plus the terminal model path.

Profit And Cash Conversion

Net income and free cash flow moving together is usually what separates genuine improvement from noise.

Balance-Sheet Pressure

Cash, net debt and liquidity tell us whether the business is strengthening or just surviving.

Implied spot is 921.00 with the stock +10.6% vs 50DMA and -11.1% vs 200DMA. The tape is sitting 27.4% through the 52-week range, which frames the regime as trend mixed.

Ownership Register

Institutions hold about 85.1% and insiders about 104.1%, locking roughly 86.2% of the register and leaving 13.8% in free float. That reads as institutional gravity.

Pressure Pocket

The API did not return a usable short-float field for this ticker, so the pressure score leans more on float lock and crowding than a full short ledger.

Dividend cadence reads semi-annual with 2 event(s) in the last full year, a five-year average of 2.0, and stability score 100.0/100. Forward yield sits near 2.4% while payout is around 50.1%.
