Ghost Bites (Aspen | Capitec | City Lodge | Nampak | Pan African Resources | Trustco)
Capitec's excellent growth story continues. Pan African Resources made a fortune in 2025. Aspen's interims are predictably awful, but they are looking to the future. Nampak's business update is encouraging. City Lodge's growth was offset by currency moves. Trustco's Meya Mining raised debt for its diamond mining ambitions.

Ghost Bites (Datatec | Glencore | Harmony Gold | Hyprop | Impala Platinum | Mpact | The Foschini Group | RCL Foods | Southern...
The Foschini Group released an ugly set of numbers, while Hyprop confirmed an important retail trend. Southern Sun has locked in a great deal. There are mining updates from Glencore, Harmony Gold and Impala Platinum. 377 jobs are on the line at Mpact. At RCL Foods, the sugar industry is hurting them. Super Group is on the wrong end of the UK automotive sector. Zeder is finally selling Zaad. Datatec announced a bolt-on acquisition.

Ghost Bites (Mr Price | Reinet | Valterra Platinum)
Mr Price is pushing ahead with the NKD deal. Valterra Platinum had a spectacular second half in 2025. Reinet's lack of share buybacks is a strong signal that they have big plans for their cash.
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (BHP | Merafe)
BHP's first half is encouraging and the company has upgraded guidance for 2026 in copper as the key commodity. The guidance for the Jansen project is a sign of inflationary pressure, though. Over at Merafe, ferrochrome production has dropped to negligible levels.
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (Curro | Hulamin | Labat Africa | Sanlam)
The Curro deal gets the green light. Sanlam is doing important deals in India across the various Shriram investments. Labat Africa's numbers look very interesting. Hulamin's full year numbers are likely to be awful.
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (Anglo American | ASP Isotopes | DRDGOLD | Jubilee Metals | Nedbank | Schroder European Real Estate | South32)
ASP Isotopes will shortly implement the Renergen deal. Nedbank has finished the sale of Ecobank. Anglo American got another regulatory approval for Teck. Schroder European Real Estate has a tenant problem, South32 has an energy problem and DRDGOLD has a mining unions problem! Jubilee Metals looks ahead to a much better FY26 (hopefully).
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (Aveng | British American Tobacco | Gemfields | RMB Holdings | Schroder European Real Estate | Stor-Age | Trematon)
Stor-Age raised capital at a premium to NAV. Gemfields looks brighter. Aveng won't be selling McConnell Dowell for now at least. British American Tobacco unlocked over R7 billion in cash. RMB Holdings received an expression of interest from Atterbury. Reality has hit at Trematon. Schroder European Real Estate is a struggle.
