neutral · A punctual record breaks
This company filed 7 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 30-06-2025 was due by 31-01-2026 and was filed on 30-03-2026, 58 days late. Weigh it accordingly: a break into the 1-to-90-day band measures 1.41% abnormal legal state, below the 1.66% market average. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.
