Ghost Bites (BHP | Hyprop – MAS | Quantum Foods | Valterra Platinum | Vodacom – Remgro)

Hyprop has put in a conditional offer to MAS shareholders. Vodacom and Remgro tweaked the terms of the fibre deal. BHP's production is strong, but iron ore prices are weak. Valterra Platinum's production ruined the first half numbers. Quantum Foods has had some shareholder register developments.

Ghost Bites (Hyprop | Primary Health Properties – Assura | Trellidor)

Hyprop has sold a 50% share in Hyde Park Corner for R805 million, but what will they do with the money? Trellidor has sold Taylor Blinds and NMC South Africa for a solid price. Primary Health Properties shareholders love the Assura deal.

GHOST BITES (FirstRand | Grindrod | Lesaka Technologies | Lighthouse | MTN | Mustek | Sanlam)

FirstRand and Sanlam released strong financial services sector numbers. Lighthouse is acquiring a property in Madrid and Lesaka completed the Recharger acquisition. MTN Uganda released terrific numbers. Grindrod had a tough year. I still don't know why Novus wants Mustek.

GHOST BITES (Italtile | Nictus | Sibanye-Stillwater | Transaction Capital)

Italtile's share price momentum makes no sense to me. Sibanye-Stillwater has pulled off a sensible uranium deal. Transaction Capital's results are delayed. Nictus had a terrific year thanks to investment income.
