KAP Industrial | Concerns overplayed

KAP will report FY'18 results on 14 August 2018. We expect H2'18 to be weaker than our previous forecast. However, we are cautiously optimistic regarding the forward outlook. Delivering operationally and financially on the Hosaf expansion is key to real earnings growth in FY'19.

There is no urgency for SNH to sell its remaining KAP shareholding. Therefore, we believe the resolution of the remaining 25.9% KAP share overhang from Steinhoff (SNH) will take longer to materialise. Slower SA economic growth and lower investor confidence will make FY'19 a tougher environment for KAP management to deliver earnings growth.
