Ghost Bites (AB InBev | Anglo American | ArcelorMittal | British American Tobacco | Gemfields | Hammerson | Mondi | MTN Nigeria | Woolworths)
AB InBev got dumped, while the market celebrates British American Tobacco - but why? Anglo American is in the doldrums and ArcelorMittal is losing money at pace, while auction revenues have halved at Gemfields. Woolworths, MTN Nigeria and Hammerson are good-news stories, with positive trends at Mondi as well.

Ghost Bites (Assura – Primary Health Properties | Astoria | Gemfields | Powerfleet | Stor-Age | Vukile)
Vukile released strong numbers. Stor-Age's decreased payout ratio set a few hares running. Powerfleet needs profits, not just revenue growth. Look out for Assura - Primary Health, Astoria and Gemfields as well.
