Ghost Biz – 13 August 2026

Today in Ghost Biz, Gary Stroebel and The Finance Ghost discuss:

– Pick n Pay – Positive like-for-like sales growth offers some encouraging signs, although the retailer still has plenty of challenges ahead.

– Sappi – Despite a jump in its share price, the company remains in a difficult position as it faces questions around whether its challenges are cyclical or structural.

– Spur – Solid adjusted earnings are overshadowed by a R129.5 million provision linked to a long-running dispute over a verbal agreement.
