The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is often regarded as a characteristic signature of metallic ferromagnetism, yet in principle, robust ferromagnetic order does not necessarily imply readily distinguishable anomalous Hall transport. Here we investigate the rare-earth intermetallic using magnetization, heat-capacity, electrical-transport, neutron diffraction, and electronic structure calculations. We show that undergoes a magnetic transition at = 9.5~K into a collinear ferromagnetic state with moments aligned along the crystallographic direction. Despite the large-moment ferromagnetic order, the Hall response below is weakly non-linear in field, with no uniquely resolvable anomalous contribution. A temperature-difference analysis yields procedure-dependent experimental sensitivity scales of and . Electronic structure calculations place the occupied Eu- manifold approximately 1~eV below the Fermi level, and show that the projected states near the Fermi level have predominantly hybridized Sn-/Cu- character. This difference in dominant orbital character provides plausible electronic structure context for the transport observations. Together, these results establish as a well-characterized setting for examining how large localized magnetic moments couple to transverse charge transport, highlighting that robust ferromagnetic order alone does not ensure a readily distinguishable anomalous Hall response.
