Business Day TV is South Africa’s most watched business news TV channel who does short (usually 1-3 minutes long) Daily Stock Pick video pitches mostly about South African stock picks (this post won’t cover any USA based ones, but does cover their other non-South African picks).
Stocks featured in their October Daily Stock Pick videos (from newest to oldest) and covered in this post include:
Sibanye-Stillwater & TFG Limited (The Foschini Group); MultiChoice Group & Anglo-American; Mondi & MTN Group; Omnia Holdings; Gold Fields; Pick N Pay; Prosus; Richemont; British American Tobacco; Woolworths Holdings; Naspers; Life Healthcare Group Holdings and African Rainbow Minerals; LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton; Shoprite and Bidcorp; ABSA; Sasol; Karooooo; Quilter; FirstRand; Platinum Stocks…; Spar; GrowthPoint and Attacq; Nepi Rockcastle; Zeda; Glencore; Adevinta ASA; & Aspen Pharmacare Holdings
As mentioned in the past, South Africa has its share of problems as well as many well managed companies who have an extensive presence outside the country. Nevertheless, some of those companies have been leaving:
Invested in SA: Discovery says it’s not migrating to London as local headwinds swirl (IOL) November 2023
- Discovery Limited (JSE: DSY) offers banking, investment, health, life and vehicle insurance among other services to South Africans as well as to other international markets, including the UK.
- Billiton, Anglo American and SA Breweries are among the companies that have already re-domiciled abroad as South African investors have seen the JSE decimated by capital outflows from South Africa’s equity and bond markets since the start of 2023. This comes as the country’s challenges mount with a power and logistics crisis and now water shedding, among many other issues.
- Discovery, however, denied that it was moving its operations to London. It told “Business Report” by email that it was “not considering moving its operations” overseas
In addition, I have updated the Emerging Market ETF Closures/Liquidations sectionfor last Monday’s post and there was this recent ETF closure:
- 11/09/2023 – Franklin FTSE South Africa ETF – FLZA
No explanation was given by the ETF manager, but performance has not exactly been exciting given the negativity foreign investors have towards South Africa:
Yahoo! Finance gives the net assets as $1.96M. I am not sure how old that figure is, but its hardly enough for most fund managers to keep an ETF holding.
Finally, and without any explanation, the Business Day TV YouTube channel was terminated some weeks ago. That’s a real shame as they had separate individual videos with just the few minute long stock picks on there without the need to watch the whole show they were from (although the whole shows would be interesting for anyone investing in South African stocks).
Otherwise, their shows that have various South African fund managers or analysts on as guests will typically have a few minute stock pick segment at the very end – which you will now need to scroll to on your own (as the videos or podcasts on their site don’t have individual chapters bookedmarked).
Thus, this post includes:
- A quick description of the stock pick with links to the IR page and stock quote(s) on Yahoo! Finance.
- A link to any Wikipedia page (for what it might be worth…)
- The title of the Business Day TV Daily Stock Pick video and their very brief summary of who is making the pitch.
- A screenshot linked to the page on the Business Day TV website containing the video and podcast audio format of the show with the stock pick (the last few minutes of the show).
- The embedded video (again, they were usually 1-3 minutes long) from the terminated YouTube account (in case the channel reappears) as this post was partially completed as a draft before I went to Japan.
- Forward or trailing P/E and dividend yields linked back to the Yahoo! Finance statistics page.
- The latest long term technical chart linked back to Yahoo! Finance.
The stock description and/or last two bullet points will help you decide whether to click on the screenshot and go to the end of the video or podcast segment to hear about the stock pick(s).
And as always, this post is provided for informational purposes only (and to make your life easier by providing you with relevant information, links, and charts). It does not constitute investment advice and/or a recommendation…
