CHP's valuation at current levels offers limited margin of safety given the structural headwinds in the FMCG retail space and persistent input cost pressures that compress the already thin operating leverage in convenience retail. The modest 1.09% uptick today doesn't alter the f

CHP up 1.60% to R191 today, but Shoprite's still crushing it on fundamentals. Choppies needs stronger inventory turns to justify this valuation against JSE's stronger retailers.
