Report

Nampak | Better moves

Management's strategic decisions overshadowed Nampak's (NPK) H1'18 better results from continuing operations. We believe management's recent decisions are positive for shareholder value. These strategic decisions include the glass division pending disposal and a firmer stand taken with Angolan customers. We believe the current share price compensates investors for above average risk.
