Ghost Bites (Exemplar REITail | Octodec | Omnia | PPC | Raubex | Shoprite | Sibanye-Stillwater | Telkom | Tiger Brands | Vodacom)
In the grocery sector, we saw Shoprite with a quarterly update and Tiger Brands with a bullish narrative. In telcos, Vodacom had a great period and Telkom has built on the success of last year. Look out for Exemplar REITail and Octodec in property, along with Omnia, PPC and Raubex from the "real" economy. Finally, Sibanye settled with Appian.

Ghost Bites (Lesaka Technologies | Motus | Purple Group | SA Corporate Real Estate | Sappi | Sibanye-Stillwater | Transpaco | Truworths | Vodacom)
Lesaka Technologies off to a good start in FY26. Sappi is suffering great pain, but at least they acknowledge it - unlike Truworths. Purple Group is charging up the J-curve. Sibanye-Stillwater is loving life, while Motus is also adapting well. Vodacom Please Call Me looks to be around R540 million. We saw deal news at Transpaco and SA Corporate Real Estate as well.

Ghost Bites (Adcock Ingram | MAS | Newpark | SA Corporate Real Estate | Sappi)
Sappi is digging for every cent they can. SA Corporate Real Estate is acquiring a large residential property portfolio. MAS has a significant change of direction. Adcock Ingram shareholders say yes to Natco Pharma. Newpark REIT was hurt by reversions.
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (Barloworld | Capitec | SPAR)
Capitec remains South Africa's most impressive corporate story. At literally the opposite end of the spectrum, we find SPAR with poor growth and clearly no real idea how to fix it. Barloworld has waived the COMESA condition and the offer is now closing this month.
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (Adcock Ingram | Anglo American | BHP | Newpark REIT | SPAR | Super Group | WBHO)
Anglo American's Teck deal is a "merger of equals" - except they aren't equal. SPAR is out of Switzerland, but it stings. Super Group had a tough period. WBHO shows that construction can work. Adcock Ingram released the deal circular. Newpark REIT is selling Crown Mines. BHP has removed one legal overhang.
