The BizNews Edge: Nedbank, Grindrod and the coal stock no one was watching

Listen here

Nedbank confirmed its guidance this morning, and its East Africa deal is weeks from closing – a transformation most investors are still underpricing. Grindrod’s Port of Maputo posted extraordinary volumes, but the share may already be priced for perfection. A small coal miner no one follows just disclosed an 1,800% earnings swing, and the full story has not landed yet.

Nedbank Group
Pre-close update confirms guidance remains intact — NIR upper-single digits on track
Costs below mid-single digits across every line
Credit losses reset higher; PPB above TTC ceiling; single BCB corporate default absorbed
NCBA cleared SA Reserve Bank & COMESA — offer closes 10 July
My View — Alec Hogg
“Buy the dip. Hold for the transformation. By August, the deal is done and the post-NCBA Nedbank is a materially different proposition.”

Grindrod Limited
Up 58% YTD — Maputo dry-bulk volumes +30% in 5 months; chrome as structural driver
Car terminal exceeded all of 2025 in just 5 months
Rail open access: test train H2 2026, commercial operations Q1 2027
Logistics margin 15% vs 25% target — second consecutive miss; balance sheet flipped to net debt
My View — Alec Hogg
“Hold if you own it. Wait for a pullback to add. Rail revenue arrives 2027 at the earliest — the price is running ahead of the earnings.”

Growthpoint Properties
Disposals tracking R5bn vs R3.5bn target; SA vacancies down to 7.3%
Distribution guidance 3–5% reaffirmed; stock –1% on “rates higher than anticipated” language
Spooked bulls after a 32% 12-month run
CEO Sasse exits Friday — De Klerk takes over Monday
My View — Alec Hogg
“Turnaround is real. But at 32% in twelve months, profit-taking is rational. Wait for the offshore rate picture to clear.”

Salungano Group
EPS jumped from ~2.6c to ~51c — an 1,800% increase in a single year
Stock spiked 26% intraday on volume that dwarfed a normal full session
Settled +10.5% on the day
Full annual results pending — will clarify the driver of the turnaround
My View — Alec Hogg
“Too early to call it transformation or windfall. But something fundamental shifted. Watch for the results.”

Joint mine plan with Codelco (Los Bronces + Andina) — $5bn+ pre-tax shared value
2.7m extra tonnes of copper over 21 years at minimal capex
Production arrives from 2030
Stock –1% on light volume; continues month-long downtrend from R920 peak — market fixated on restructuring
My View — Alec Hogg
“Strategically sound. Commercially distant. Wait for the restructuring dust to settle before buying.”

Schroders REIT & Primary Health Properties
Schroders REIT (SCD)
Managed wind-down announced — 14 European properties to be sold over 2–3 years
NAV ~ZAR 22.50 vs share price ~R13; stock +5.4% on extraordinary volume

Advanced JV discussions for private hospital portfolio; stock +4.15%
LTV deleveraging from 57% toward 40–50% target
My View — Alec Hogg
“SCD is a liquidation play — watch execution speed. PHP is a deleveraging story in motion. Both have clear catalysts. Both worth tracking.”
