This and Pru are very cheap and should re-bound in a few weeks
Yes, this has truly become a basket case. terrible performance
Some stronger results coming through…today’s update is helpful, but the range is wide…room for some assumption changes/provisions but the positive improvement is there for all to see.
Sadly RSA seems to be limping towards becoming a basket case.
It's dividend payday, always risers, taken cash..atb
Always welcome a increase in dividend, interim up 28% to 32c....atb
Heavily influenced by the Rand falling…..and the well publicised electricity grid and water issues. RSA in something of a mess…..and is making itself a subject of Beijing and Moscow….uninvestible in the current climate.
Terrible performance here lately.
