**Revenue Growth**Revenue increased by 8.6% to £547.7 million compared to the same period in 2024, driven by a 2.3% growth in order intake and a stronger opening order bank.

Implied spot is 133.00 with the stock -16.2% vs 50DMA and -18.2% vs 200DMA. The tape is sitting 23.1% through the 52-week range, which frames the regime as trend broken.
