FTH at R6.50 is trading on a knife's edge for logistics. Freight volumes are under pressure with load factors compressed, but if they can stabilise cash conversion and trim capex, the yield might justify a nibble at these levels.
FTH closed R5.93 but the logistics space is getting hammered with fuel costs and the rand weakness. Reckon management needs to show earnings growth next quarter or this drifts lower, competition from the bigger boys like Barloworld is just too strong when margins get squeezed like this.
logistics space is brutal right now but FTH has real assets and contracts, not some moonshot biotech. load shedding killing everyone equally so thats noise. book value alone justifies way more than R5.93 if you actually look at the balance sheet instead of just panic selling when rand gets weak.
Fuel costs still elevated even with rand weaker, margins getting squeezed hard on the transport side. FTH's been struggling to pass that through to clients. Long-term view hasn't changed but near term looks rough til inflation settles and rates come down, probably another year out at best.
FTH sitting at R6.15, transport sector under pressure but logistics plays usually bounce hard once load-shedding eases and freight demand picks up. Catalysts moving forward, patience looks like a real good idea here.
Look, FTH got hammered but the logistics space in SA is broken, we need this stuff moving. Company's doing real work, real revenue, not some pre-revenue moonshot. Yeah balance sheet needs tightening but load-shedding and supply chain chaos means transport plays consolidate or die, and FTH's got the ops to stick around. Patience.
FTH sitting at R6.15 feels disconnected from what's actually happening in SA logistics right now. Load-shedding has forced every transport operator to rethink routes and fuel spend, which should be squeezing margins hard, yet the market's pricing this like it's already priced in. Compare that to what Grindrod's done with their fleet optimization, and you wonder if FTH's management has the same agility or if they're just absorbing the pain. Long term the fundamentals of moving goods around this country don't go away, but the next 18 months will separate the operators who adapt from the ones who
Been through the MD&A. Transport volumes aren't pretty right now.
FTH jumping 6.39% today while the broader transport sector stays flat, suggests some company-specific momentum building. Worth comparing to Grindrod's recent moves - if FTH can maintain this energy while peers struggle, there's something brewing here.
FTH closed at R6.49 which is nowhere near where it should be given the logistics squeeze we're seeing across the board. Transport costs are brutal right now and if they can't pass that through to clients we're gonna struggle, but the balance sheet isn't broken so there's a floor here somewhere. Load shedding is killing everyone in this space but at least FTH isn't overleveraged like some of the other freight guys. Holding for now but frustrating as hell though.
Logistics play like FTH is boring but pays off when rand gets weak and volumes pick up, which they are. Last earnings showed operating leverage kicking in, margins improving off a lower base. Ngl at R6.49 its decent value if you believe transport demand stays sticky through the cycle.
Do you think FTH can actually grow revenue with load-shedding strangling transport volumes across the country. Logistics guys are getting squeezed hard right now, margins are thin. Where are they finding new contracts when half the economy is offline.
FTH's up 7% today and starting to look interesting against the broader transport pack, especially if logistics demand picks up. Revenue growth trajectory puts it ahead of some peers trading at similar multiples, though the sector's still fighting headwinds from fuel costs and fre
FTH up 6.56% on what exactly, a rumour? The transport sector's logistics headwinds haven't magically disappeared and at these valuations you're pricing in a recovery that may take years to materialise, if it comes at all.
