BWN's 6% pop today is interesting given the flat residential market, but I'm curious whether management's capital allocation discipline can sustain returns on equity above cost of capital in this cycle, or if we're just seeing sentiment relief from the construction delays easing.
Picked up some more Balwin Properties LTD (BWN) at R350.00. Still think it's cheap here.
BWN trading at 313 is down 1.88% but the residential developer space remains bifurcated between balance sheet quality and leverage risk, something Balwin's debt-to-equity position forces you to scrutinize against peers like Geopoll or Hosken Consolidated where capital allocation
Took profits on my BWN short at R336 this morning after that 4.35% pump, but the balance sheet mechanics remain troubling: negative operating leverage, thin margins under 15%, and residential exposure that's structurally challenged by higher rates and subdued demand, so I'm waiti

Grabbed more BWN at R342 after that 5.23% pop, reckons the housing demand thesis is finally clicking with the market.
