🤖Model Commentary

CYAN scores 9/100 for profitability, assessed sector-relative on margins and via absolute thresholds for capital efficiency. Gross margin of 34.8% is 23% below the sector average of 45% — suggesting below-average pricing power or higher input costs vs peers. The company is currently loss-making with a net margin of -27.0%. FCF conversion of 0% is low — reported earnings may overstate true cash generation. Overall, profitability metrics are weaker across multiple model inputs. Profitability trends can change and should be reviewed alongside balance-sheet risk.

💎 Valuation

Weight: 15%
74/100

Valuation is scored sector-relative — each metric is compared against the typical multiple for this industry, so a high P/E in Healthcare is judged differently to a high P/E in Energy. PEG and Price/FCF use absolute thresholds.

🤖Model Commentary

CYAN scores 80/100 for operational quality, indicating high operational risk.

These weaknesses make the business vulnerable to cost shocks or revenue shortfalls. Monitor profitability trends closely.

🤖Model Commentary

CYAN has a market cap of £0.0B (Nano Cap), resulting in a size risk score of 80/100. As a smaller company, it faces elevated business and funding risk. Small and micro-caps have higher failure rates, less diversified revenue, and greater vulnerability to competitive threats or economic shocks. They often lack scale advantages and may struggle to access capital markets during stress. Smaller companies can experience higher dispersion of outcomes, including business failure or sustained capital impairment. Diversification is important when investing at this size.
