Investment Idea: Sibanye Stillwater - 27 February 2025

The recent transaction and events from Sibanye Stillwater: The long-term platinum price is expected to range between $900 and $1 100 due to an increasing demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) making up a larger percentage of global car sales. Lower prices Platinum Group Metals will reduce supply, supporting prices. The ZAR platinum price has shown consistent growth over the long term, indicating a favourable price trend that is likely to support local PGM producers. The intrinsic value is R23.23 with a 36% upside but Sibanye remains a HOLD because of the following risks and recent events: A probability of 35% that the platinum price will decline to unsustainable operating levels, resulting from: A strong uptick in EV demand resulting in an increased share of total sales. The Russia-Ukraine war ending, leading to reduced sanctions on Russia, and increased Russian PGMs reaching the open market. Tariff war on car imports and exports. Higher than anticipated inflation leading to higher interest rates. Reduced jewellery demand with global growth under pressure with more cost-effective alternatives.

Investment Idea: British American Tobacco - 25 February 2025

After two years of declining cigarette volumes, the revocation of the menthol ban should mitigate declining volumes, although negative volumes are still expected. Key points in the investment thesis are:Management states that illicit vapour in the US account for 60% of sales. The FDA is moving too slowly at the frustration of management. Aim for 50% smoke-free products by 2035. US cigarette sales surprised on the downside with volumes down in the low teens single digits in the past 18 months. This was against the expectation of 3-5%. Going forward it is expected at low single digits, and the revocation of the menthol ban should help. £900m in share buybacks expected in FY25. Net Debt/EBITDA expected to be below 2.5x upon results on 13 February which should prompt additional buyback plans. NGPs still growing strongly and have turned to a profit, and BATS has the highest market share in bo

Investment Idea: Shoprite - 12 February 2025

• This is the pre-eminent food retailer in South Africa, with the best margins and the most effective management, but its sheer size limits the potential for above industry growth (even market share gains will become limited) and its valuation is full. • Key points in the investment thesis are: a. Group revenue growth of 9.5%, however, this was mainly driven by acquisitions as like-for-like revenue growth was 6.3%. Internal selling price inflation of 1.9% implies an increase in like-for-like volume growth. b. The impact of loadshedding is improving as the company adapts, as well as a reduction in loadshedding hours. FY24 had approximately R1bn in loadshedding costs and this is expected to decrease substantially in FY25 if the utility continues its current path. c. Supermarkets RSA opened a net 248 stores over the past 12 months to a total of 2 485 stores. d. Shoprite’s internal price inflation was 1.9% for H1 FY25 compared to H1 FY24 7.7%. Shoprite still maintains strong margins and creates space for volume growth on top of expanding their store footprint. Our research supports a hold recommendation. Click here to find out more.
