It is always worthwhile revisiting earlier calls and see how they are progressing, especially on the back of fresh news flow. Two such calls have been ports & terminals group, Grindrod (GND), and restaurant franchisor, Spur Corporation (SUR).

A little over a year ago, I picked ADvTech (ADH) as my preferred education stock (Pick of the Education Stocks) while highlighting the growth of Stadio (SDO). I did not like Curro (COH) at that point both operationally and from a valuation perspective. While a single year is an arbitrary measure of performance, Stadio is ..read more

Which Earnings Figure to Use?
Small Caps
by Keith McLachlan
4M ago
Previously, I wrote about “Which Valuation Matters?” and a key input in most valuations is what the company has earned. With the increasing abstraction of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and many management teams publishing their own “versions” of earnings (so-called “adjusted”, “normalized”, “core” or “underlying”, et al earnings), the next logical question is: what ..read more

Following my previous writing on Stor-Age Property REIT (Stor-Age is Aging Well), the share price has done a glorious nothing since then. Which, I suppose is not a bad thing when compared to the pressure local markets have shown in the SA Inc and small cap space. Despite this, last week, Stor-Age’s share price suddenly ..read more

Market Should Drill into Master Drilling
Small Caps

4M ago
A little over a year ago, I wrote about how I expected Master Drilling Group (MDI) to report strong results (Expect the Lights to be Shot Out). This wasn’t anything clever from my side.

Previously, I highlighted some of the so-called ‘reopening trades’ that remain on the JSE (There are still ‘reopening trades’ out there), which included Spur Corporation (SUR). Spur has now released their full H1:23 results revealing quite how well they are doing and the share price has started responding positively. How much more upside may be ..read more
