It has secured a significant $6.7 million contract with IBM, enhancing its presence in the financial services vertical. Despite being debt-free and having short-term assets exceeding liabilities, Cirata faces challenges with less than a year of cash runway and high share price volatility.

Despite a low return on equity at 19.1%, it offers good value with a price-to-earnings ratio below the UK market average.
