Reunert | Time to pull the trigger

Reunert has provided resistance through past challenging economic cycles through share buybacks, dividends and cost control measures. We believe recent changes in the political and economic landscape in South Africa present an opportunity for the group to grow volumes in local operations given its exposure to sectors such as infrastructure and ICT. Therefore, we expect to see growth in the next 12 to 36 months. However, we expect a weak set of H1 results following economic challenges and a stronger ZAR. The stronger ZAR depresses the value of Reunert's exports and lower translated profits from the offshore entities.
