Weekly corporate finance activity by SA exchange-listed companies

Weekly summary of corporate finance activity by South African exchange listed companies

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.

Ghost Bites (AngloGold | Deneb | eMedia – Remgro | MTN Ghana | Novus – Mustek)

AngloGold Ashanti continues to shine. MTN Ghana adds to the African telco party. eMedia released the Venfin (Remgro) circular. There's another twist in the Novus - Mustek saga. Deneb offloads a property.

Ghost Bites (Absa | Crookes | Lesaka | PBT | Reinet | Remgro – eMedia | RMB Holdings | SA Corporate Real Estate |...

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 (Gemfields | Merafe | MTN Zakhele Futhi | Novus | Primary Health Properties – Assura | Remgro – Mediclinic | Vunani)

Primary Health is making another desperate plea to Assura. MTN Zakhele Futhi is cashing in. Novus is up, but on shaky ground. Gemfields enjoyed decent support for the rights offer. Look out for Merafe, Mediclinic (Remgro) and Vunani as well.

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.

Ghost Bites (Accelerate Property Fund | Capital Appreciation | Copper 360 | Dis-Chem | HCI | Huge | Insimbi | Mustek – Novus |...

Dis-Chem released results, but the market didn't like something about them. Santova announced a clever deal. Accelerate is raising R100m. Capital Appreciation looks strong. Mustek - Novus released the offer circular. Sirius is doing deals. Copper 360, HCI, Huge Group and Insimbi also released important updates.
