What it sells
Platforms for government and defence, plus a commercial version for industry, healthcare and finance, with AI sold as an added layer.
Contracts are large and multi-year, making revenue predictable but growth lumpy.
Why the valuation is debated
Revenue growth is strong, but the share price assumes years more of it, so investors watch new commercial logos closely.
Dependence on government budgets makes it sensitive to political choices.
Why finance cares
Banks and insurers use similar platforms for fraud detection, sanctions screening and risk reporting, exactly where supervisors keep raising the bar.
