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

Ghost Bites (AfroCentric | Cashbuild | Labat Africa | Libstar | Lighthouse Properties | Quilter | Sanlam | Woolworths)

Woolworths is putting up a good fight in the retail market. Quilter is extracting growth from the UK market, while Cashbuild has found a way to improve margins. Lighthouse is delivering decent returns. Sanlam is investing billions in ARC. Look out for AfroCentric numbers, a Libstar Capital Markets Day announcement and a deal at Labat Africa.

Ghost Bites (Coronation | Karooooo | Quilter)

Quilter's growth rate in assets under management and administration is impressive to say the least. Closer to home, Coronation is also growing strongly. Karooooo's margins contracted this quarter, but top-line growth is still solid.

Ghost Bites (Astral Foods | MTN | Ninety One | Pick n Pay | Prosus – Naspers | Sirius Real Estate | WeBuyCars)

Prosus/Naspers and Ninety One are flying. So is MTN, but only thanks to Africa. Astral Foods posted encouraging numbers. WeBuyCars had to adapt to significant disruption in the car market. The Ackermans are reducing their stake in Pick n Pay. Sirius looks ahead to the benefit of new acquisitions coming through.

Ghost Bites (ASP Isotopes | ISA Holdings | Sephaku | The Foschini Group)

The Foschini Group's share price is still sliding. Sephaku is a reminder of how regional the cement industry is. ASP Isotopes seems to be on the right side of Trump. ISA Holdings reported good numbers.

Ghost Bites (Famous Brands | Quilter | Salungano | Vunani)

Famous Brands is up at group level, but the performance remains far too reliant on the manufacturing side of the business. Quilter's net inflows continue. Vunani has positive momentum. Salungano signed a coal supply agreement with Eskom.

Ghost Bites (Bytes Technology | CMH | Ninety One | Santova | Tharisa)

CMH has dropped its dividend in favour of massive share buybacks. Bytes Technology is desperate for a moat. Ninety One's AUM has grown considerably. Santova disappointed the market.
