In this episode of Ghost Wrap, we recap a busy couple of days:

• Aveng’s poor recent results and the volatility in the share price around the time of the earnings release.
• Curro’s solid year-on-year growth, driven mainly by pricing increases in tuition fees.
• Libstar’s substantial drop in HEPS, with mushroom production as the biggest problem after the Shongweni facility was destroyed.
• Transpaco’s encouraging trading statement, putting another tick in the box for the packaging sector this year.
• Standard Bank’s massive jump in earnings, with the African regions shining through.
• Various mining sector updates that are almost all negative, including Thungela, Exxaro, Sibanye, Gold Fields and Master Drilling.
