Ghost Bites (Labat Africa | Old Mutual | South Ocean Holdings)

When will Labat Africa engage with the market and tell their story? Old Mutual reminds us just how well our market infrastructure works in South Africa (especially compared to Zimbabwe). South Ocean Holdings expands in Cape Town.

Ghost Bites (Hammerson | Hyprop | Trustco)

As expected, Hyprop increased the size of the capital raise. Hammerson has recycled capital at a premium to book. Trustco's investment in Meya Mining is in serious trouble. In the Nibbles: MAS, Prosus and more.

Ghost Bites (Bytes Technology | Hyprop)

Hyprop is tapping the market for R500 million in fresh equity capital. VCP now has a stake of over 5% in Bytes Technology.

Ghost Bites (Anglo American | Astral Foods | Calgro M3 | enX | Famous Brands | Harmony Gold | Nutun | Pick n Pay...

An enormous day of news saw 12 major corporate updates across multiple sectors, all covered in detail in Ghost Bites alongside the smaller Nibbles.

Ghost Bites (Discovery | Fortress Real Estate | KAP | Libstar | Nedbank | OUTsurance | Spur | Tiger Brands | Truworths)

Strong numbers came through from Discovery, Fortress Real Estate, Libstar and Spur. Tiger Brands is doing as well as they can in a deflationary environment. KAP is doing better on margins, but has much work to do on revenue. OUTsurance had a tough period in Australia, but decent numbers overall. Nedbank is struggling to find growth, while Truworths remains reliant on the UK.

Ghost Bites (ArcelorMittal | Gemfields | Impala Platinum | MC Mining | Ninety One – Sanlam | Orion Minerals)

ArcelorMittal reported another huge loss. Impala Platinum is grateful for higher PGM prices. Gemfields signs off on an ugly year. MC Mining and Orion Minerals released quarterly updates. Ninety One and Sanlam concluded the SA component of their deal.

Ghost Bites (Curro | Hulamin | Labat Africa | Sanlam)

The Curro deal gets the green light. Sanlam is doing important deals in India across the various Shriram investments. Labat Africa's numbers look very interesting. Hulamin's full year numbers are likely to be awful.

Ghost Bites (Anglo American | ASP Isotopes | DRDGOLD | Jubilee Metals | Nedbank | Schroder European Real Estate | South32)

ASP Isotopes will shortly implement the Renergen deal. Nedbank has finished the sale of Ecobank. Anglo American got another regulatory approval for Teck. Schroder European Real Estate has a tenant problem, South32 has an energy problem and DRDGOLD has a mining unions problem! Jubilee Metals looks ahead to a much better FY26 (hopefully).
