TPC at R41 trades on a modest P/E if earnings hold up, but the transport and logistics space is lumpy with fuel and capex volatility. Revenue growth would need to accelerate from here to justify much upside.
tpc sitting at r42.00 and honestly the plastic packaging space is brutal with all the input cost swings. but transpaco's got decent distribution footprint across sa which rivals struggle with. long term if they can stabilize margins on the commodity side, there's real value here. not touching it till i see a better read on where resin prices settle.
TPC holding R42 is actually decent value if plastics demand picks up. Packaging sector gets hit hard when consumer spending drops but recovery can be sharp, and they've got decent distribution footprint across the country. Materials play so margins will stay thin but ngl the risk reward isn't terrible from here.
TPC up nearly 5% today and that's the kind of pop you want to see in Resources when sentiment shifts. Volume would need to confirm if this sticks or just relief buying, but the momentum is there.
TPC down 2.40% to R41 today, which is eish considering the broader Resources rally. Stacks up decently against Grindrod Shipping on dividend yield, but lacks that shipping tailwind - TPC's exposure to general logistics means it's more sensitive to domestic economic weakness.
honestly tpc's been struggling with margins on the packaging side, rand weakness doesn't help when you're importing raw materials. but if they can sort out their cost base and keep the distribution network tight, there's upside from here at r42. packaging demand won't disappear, these guys just need to get operational efficiency right.
Plastic packaging demand's weak right now with all the load-shedding hitting manufacturing. TPC's been stuck in the R40s for a while, margins getting squeezed. Compare that to Hulamin doing better in their space, makes you wonder if management's just not cutting it here. Long term the sector recovers but at R42 you're not getting paid enough to wait around.
interesting numbers on the packaging side but margin compression is real. fwiw the rand weakness should've helped export flows more than it seems to be, which makes me wonder if volumes are just softer than mgmt is letting on. worth noting tpc's got decent distribution reach locally but if consumer spending stays under pressure through loadshedding season that's a headwind they cant really control. could be wrong but id want to see the next interim before adding here at 42.
