Ghost Bites (Aspen | Exxaro | Investec | Momentum | Schroder European Real Estate)
Aspen has released the APAC deal circular. Exxaro's dividend is much higher. Investec's UK business is lagging. Momentum is largely positive. Schroder European Real Estate remains unappealing to me.

Ghost Bites (Anglo American | AngloGold | Dis-Chem | enX | Sibanye-Stillwater | Spar)

Ghost Bites (Aspen | Capitec | City Lodge | Nampak | Pan African Resources | Trustco)
Capitec's excellent growth story continues. Pan African Resources made a fortune in 2025. Aspen's interims are predictably awful, but they are looking to the future. Nampak's business update is encouraging. City Lodge's growth was offset by currency moves. Trustco's Meya Mining raised debt for its diamond mining ambitions.

Ghost Bites (AfroCentric | Aspen | Novus – Mustek)
Aspen announced the disposal of Aspen APAC and the market loved it. AfroCentric is disposing of Activo and the market forgot to notice - for now, at least. And for Novus, a purchase of 3,000 shares has turned out to be very expensive in the Mustek deal.

Ghost Bites (4Sight | Insimbi | Jubilee Metals | Labat | Prosus | Safari Investments – Heriot | Stefanutti Stocks | Standard Bank)
Safari Investments plans to go private with Heriot - but at a cheeky price. Prosus will get 100% of Just Eat Takeaway.com. Standard Bank's performance is consistent. Labat is a very different company now. On a busy day, we also saw updates from the likes of 4Sight, Insimbi, Jubilee Metals and Stefanutti Stocks.
