R14.10 now! Let's go!

CAA at R13.92 is trading at a decent discount to Distell on valuation metrics, though the dividend yield gap has widened lately which suggests the market is pricing in more caution around consumer discretionary demand. If you're comparing on revenue growth, CAA's been lagging the

CAA at R13.66 is trading on a tight valuation relative to the broader consumer goods pack, but the dividend yield doesn't pop compared to peers like Shoprite or Dis-Chem when you factor in growth. Revenue trajectory will matter more here than chasing yield.

CAA at R13.20 is looking stretched if earnings don't improve soon. The consumer goods space is brutal right now with margin pressure everywhere, so I'd want to see actual revenue growth and not just cost-cutting before getting excited.

CAA taking a proper hit today at -3.93, down to R12.95. Without seeing the specific news, hard to say if this is panic or justified, but consumer goods have been under pressure lately with input costs still stubbornly high.

CAA up 1.16% but the consumer goods space is getting hammered with input cost pressures and margin compression. At 13.10 rand I reckon the market's pricing in too much optimism given the retail environment headwinds we're seeing across the board.

CAA up 1.15% to R13.20, but the real question is whether consumer discretionary has legs in this environment with load shedding still biting. Need to see if they can maintain margin on cost inflation because at current valuation, there's not much room for disappointment.

Distribution plays get hammered when consumer spending stalls, and CAA's margin pressure is real given the rand environment and load-shedding squeezing retailers. That said, if the company can hold share in the channel while others bleed, there's a floor here that the market hasn't found yet. Compare this to what Dis-Chem's logistics arm is trying to do, positioned perfectly for a recovery when spending normalizes again.

CAA getting crushed but distribution play still got legs if they sort the cash flow situation. Retail's been rough but essentials always move, that's the moat here ngl. R13 is oversold imo, book it.

Distribution plays are getting squeezed on margin, same thing happened to Dis-Chem and Medichem couple years back when competition heated up. CAA sitting at R13.05 but the real question is whether they can hold volume when retailers consolidate. Long-term view hasn't changed though, if the rand stays stable and they keep their wholesale contracts, this prints cash.

CAA struggling to find buyers at these levels ngl. Distribution model is solid but the rand weakness and wholesale margin squeeze is real, retail out there is under pressure. Long term thesis still there if they can hold market share but tough slog ahead tbh.
