Shares: connector/market_inputs

Amounts: USD (converted) · As reported
Converted modes use NBK / ECB-linked rates: balance sheet date for BS items, period average for P&L and cash flow (see filing row evidence). As reported keeps each row in its filing currency.

Financial results

Monetary columns are in B ZAR, one decimal; scale (K/M/B/T) keeps values readable. For the period (default) shows P&L and cash flow for that row’s reporting window: quarterly amounts when the feed uses quarter-duration facts (typical US 10-Q revenue and income), quarterly cash flows after stripping YTD where only cumulative tags exist, and an implied Q4 on 31 Dec FY rows (P&L: FY minus Q1–Q3; operating / investing cash flow: FY 12m minus 9M YTD to 30 Sep when sourced from SEC builder evidence) so they match 10-Q scale. Some issuers still use cumulative YTD minus the prior row in the same calendar year. As reported shows values stored on each row (e.g. full-year on FY). Balance sheet is always as reported. Source JSON may use millions etc.; conversion uses amounts_unit per row.

Peer comparison

Group: financials (South Africa). Every peer trades on the same market, so no adjustment is needed.

Group average15.0x
This companySouth Africa10.49.1x

Group median 13.8x; this company 9.1x — a 34% discount.

Group average 15.0x; against the average this company is at a 39% discount.

At the adjusted group median the market cap would be +51% versus today.

The gap and the implied upside are measured against the median: one richly priced peer moves an average, not a median. The market adjustment uses our coverage medians (US 30.2x, Russia 6.4x, South Africa 11.1x, Kazakhstan 9.3x, India 27.6x, Indonesia 7.9x); it is about where a name is listed, not what it does. Peer multiples come from the nightly rebuild of 2026-10-13; the company's own is live.
