Welcome to Ghost Wrap. It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s informative.
In this week’s episode of Ghost Wrap, we cover:
- Pan African Resources shareholders are licking their wounds, with a major sell-off in the share price after a reduction in production guidance.
- The Hosken Consolidated Investments (HCI) group of companies reported this week, with a vastly different picture at the mothership vs. underlying listed companies Deneb, eMedia and Frontier Transport.
- Southern Sun’s earnings tell an interesting story vs. pre-Covid levels, particularly when assessed against occupancy levels.
- Datatec has unfortunately found the “adjusted EBITDA” button, a metric that global technology groups just love using.
- The poultry sector is in disarray, with Astral and Quantum Foods both reporting horrific drops in profitability despite increasing revenue – and that’s before the impact of the avian flu outbreak in April!
- Lewis Group can’t rely on share buybacks forever, with the trend in cash sales vs. credit sales being cause for concern.
- Trematon’s intrinsic net asset value per share is under pressure from Generation Education in particular, with worrying metrics in that business.
