Took a nibble at TFG this morning since the retail sector's been beaten down like a three-legged lamb, but I'm waiting to see if this 0.23% creep is genuine recovery or just the wind shifting across the veld before I add more.
TFG at R7068 is navigating a structurally challenged retail environment where discretionary apparel demand remains under pressure from elevated interest rates and consumer debt cycles, but the group's multi-brand portfolio and international exposure through Whistles and Phase Eig
TFG crawling up 0.64% while the retail sector's been getting hammered globally suggests either the market's pricing in some recovery narrative that hasn't materialised yet or there's selective buying from those who've already capitulated. Worth asking whether that uptick reflects
TFG holding steady at R6985 after that modest bounce today, but the real question is whether management can arrest the margin compression we've seen across their portfolio. At current valuations you're banking on a turnaround in discretionary spending and improved inventory turns
TFG's modest uptick today masks the structural pressure on apparel retail, though their fashion portfolio does benefit from rand weakness on the import side. The real question is whether their P/E compression reflects genuine margin challenges or presents a buying opportunity for
TFG's 1.69% retreat today doesn't particularly concern me at these levels, but I'd want to see the dividend yield holding above 4% and revenue growth stabilizing before adding to any position, given retail's current headwinds.
TFG down 1.69% today, but I'm more concerned about whether management can actually improve return on equity back above 15% given the current inventory drag and depreciation of rand-denominated earnings from their international operations. Has anyone modelled what happens to free
Took some profit on TFG at R7040 today given the retail headwinds we've seen in recent SENS updates, but keeping a core holding since the dividend yield is still respectable and management hasn't signalled any capital concerns.
TFG sitting flat today at R7171 but the real story is whether that dividend yield justifies the valuation when retail foot traffic stays under pressure. Their revenue growth has been decent enough, but I need to see if margins hold up before I'm throwing more capital at it - fash
TFG's down 1.12% today but the retail TAM in SA and across Africa is still massive for a player with their omnichannel footprint. Revenue growth remains the key watch here rather than short-term price action, especially as they push deeper into fashion e-commerce where margins ca
TFG's barely a blip down at minus 0.36% today, but the retail sector's been under pressure with rising vacancy rates in traditional shopping centers, so I'm keeping an eye on whether their property exposure and tenant quality hold up through this cycle.
TFG at R7155 down nearly 2% today, but the real question is whether their international expansion actually pays off or just bleeds cash. Been holding through the volatility because retail cycles turn, but this price point needs solid earnings to justify the valuation.
TFG at R7210 down 1.23% - retail weakness in the holiday period or just profit-taking after that recent run? The margin story still intact though.
TFG dropped 1.95% to R7332 today but I'm holding—retail pain is temporary, their logistics network and Superbalist are positioning them well for the rebound.
TFG at R7486 barely budging today. Retail headwinds are real but the group's diversification into Superbalist and Phase Eight offsets local weakness—question is whether margin recovery can actually materialise.
TFG jumping 6% to R7478 on what, exactly? Retail margins are still being squeezed. Need to see if this spike has legs or just short covering.
The Foschini Group (TFG) at R7054.00. Dividend yield above 4% on current price? Hard to ignore.
TFG down 0.98% to R7055 today - is this the market finally pricing in January's awful sales numbers or just noise before earnings?
TFG down 0.98% to R7055 today. Retail headwinds are real but the group's diversification into Africa keeps it interesting long-term.
