Investment view
- Short term (0–3 months): Monitor for confirmation of margin stabilisation; consider trading on volatility rather than positional exposure.
- Medium term (3–12 months): Invest selectively if revenue growth resumes and EBITDA turns positive; key trigger — consistent QoQ margin improvement.
- Long term (12+ months): Only after visible scale-up and product-mix improvement; currently premature for long-term allocation.
