Ghost Bites (FirstRand | Gold Fields | Impala Platinum | MAS | Mpact | MultiChoice | Weaver Fintech)
MAS shareholders have a Prime Kapital offer to chew on. Gold Fields' HEPS more than tripled, but Impala Platinum's earnings dropped. Mpact needs a big second half. Weaver Fintech is flying. FirstRand's share price overhang seems to be gone. MultiChoice is restructuring Phuthuma Nathi's stake.

Ghost Bites (Adcock Ingram | AECI | Karooooo | Mr Price | MultiChoice | Northam Platinum | Santam | Spear REIT | Vodacom)
The take-private bid for Adcock Ingram is juicy to say the least. Mr Price had a tough June but a resilient quarter overall. MultiChoice got the green light for the Canal+ deal. AECI, Karooooo, Northam Platinum and Vodacom released financial updates. Santam is growing offshore, while Spear REIT sticks to the Western Cape.

Ghost Bites (Libstar | MAS | STADIO | Standard Bank)
Libstar's results aren't nearly as good as they might first appear. STADIO is growing strongly. Standard Bank is up, but needs better banking conditions. The games continue at MAS.

Ghost Bites (Assura – Primary Health Properties | MultiChoice | Naspers – Prosus | Pan African Resources)
Pan African Resources and Naspers/Prosus have both been winners for me this year, with latest numbers showing why. MultiChoice is in much pain. Assura is going ahead with the KKR/Stonepeak offer, not the Primary Health Properties merger.

Look out for Mahube Infrastructure, Reunert, RFG and Southern Sun as well. Greencoat Renewables is coming to the JSE.
