GHOST WRAP – Earnings season brings out the bulls and the bears

With the August / September earnings season behind us, it's helpful to look at share price moves over the past 30 days on the JSE to see how sentiment has shifted. The PGMs have driven the Top40 higher, while insurance has taken a breather.

Ghost Bites (Boxer | CMH | Emira | HCI | MC Mining | PSG Financial Services | Vukile)

Boxer and Vukile show us where the growth is in South Africa, while Emira is struggling with its property portfolio. CMH has done a great job in a changing automotive environment. PSG Financial Services is going from strength to strength. HCI keeps jumping through hoops for SACTWU. MC Mining made a gross loss - not something you'll see very often!

Ghost Bites (MAS | Northam Platinum | Super Group)

MAS put out strong numbers, with the market hoping for a return to dividends as soon as possible. Northam Platinum's costs are running far too hot. Super Group's continuing operations are down, but not by much.

Ghost Bites (Absa | Aveng | CA Sales | MTN | Northam Platinum | Orion Minerals | Thungela)

Absa's earnings were boosted by the credit loss ratio. MTN punters took profit on Monday, but why? Thungela's commitment to its dividend is incredible. CA Sales flagged strong earnings, Northam Platinum had a rough time with Eland and Aveng is an ugly story in Australia. Orion Minerals raised over R20 million from retail investors.

Ghost Bites (Accelerate Property Fund | Sea Harvest | Spear REIT | Valterra Platinum)

It's all eyes on the second half at Valterra Platinum. Sea Harvest's numbers are even better than previously guided. Spear REIT announced another acquisition. Accelerate Property Fund received reasonable support for the rights offer.

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 WRAP – The JSE Winners’ Club in 2025

At the halfway mark in 2025, we've lived through some huge geopolitical shifts. The world's gaze has shifted beyond just the US market. Many investors choose to stick with what they know in times like these. This means homegrown favourites on the JSE. But which stocks have been the big winners thus far this year, and what do they have in common?
