Ghost Bites (Afrimat | Bidcorp | Blue Label Telecoms | Curro | OUTsurance | Spur | Transpaco)

Curro is becoming a non-profit organisation - and it all makes perfect sense. OUTsurance is flying. Punters took profit on Blue Label after results. Afrimat and Transpaco are having a tough time. Bidcorp put in a dependable performance. Spur has a legal battle around a rib plant.

Ghost Bites (Accelerate Property Fund | Cashbuild | Mahube Infrastructure | Master Drilling | Motus | Old Mutual | Redefine Properties)

Old Mutual and Redefine put out positive numbers, while Cashbuild, Master Drilling and Motus also managed to grind out some growth. Accelerate Property Fund is selling two buildings at NAV. Mahube Infrastructure looks like it could delist.

Ghost Bites (ADvTECH | Clientele | Fairvest | Harmony | Hulamin | Italtile | Momentum | Sasol)

Sasol's debt reduction and free cash flow got the market excited. Harmony didn't capitalise on gold price opportunities. Italtile posted resilient numbers, while Hulamin's performance was poor.
