Ghost Bites (Investec | Mustek | Safari Investments)
Safari Investments had another strong period and is looking to raise capital for growth. Investec has guided for flat earnings in the six months to September 2025. Mustek's HEPS trajectory has finally turned positive, but what will they do next for growth?

Ghost Bites (Choppies | Metrofile | Momentum | Mustek | Orion Minerals | Supermarket Income REIT)
Momentum released excellent numbers, although they do have metrics that need work. Metrofile shareholders finally received an offer. Orion Minerals got the market excited with a funding package from Glencore. Mustek and Supermarket Income REIT are in the green, but not by much. Choppies is managing some growth in its core business.

Ghost Bites (JSE | Nedbank | Pick n Pay | Shoprite | Telkom)
Pick n Pay is showing positive momentum and Shoprite is doing extremely well, but is it slowing down? Nedbank needs SA growth to pick up. Telkom is a victim of high expectations. The JSE itself is growing earnings despite all the delistings.

Absa's trading update reflects a much lower credit loss ratio. Lesaka is buying Bank Zero. Crookes and Sea Harvest gave us agri updates. Remgro is unbundling its eMedia exposure. Reinet might sell Pension Insurance Corp. RMB Holdings has a tough story to sell. SA Corporate Real Estate's update has fascinating read-through for grocery retail.

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.
