Our opinion on the current state of CAA

CA Sales listed on the JSE on 27th June 2022 and traded 34 deals on the day opening at 505c and closing at 745c. The company supplies food, health, alcohol and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) to a wide range of companies. It is involved in warehousing, distribution, marketing and point-of-sale. In its results for the six months to 30th June 2023 the company reported revenue up 22,5% and headline earnings per share (HEPS) up 21,5%. The company said, "Revenue growth was driven by organic growth, acquisitions, expansion into new regions as well as the on-boarding of new clients to the group’s portfolio. As a result, gross profit increased by 25.9% to R786.8 million (H1 2022: R625.2 million)". This is one of the only new listings on the JSE over the past year and it is too early to assess it technically, but the has been moving sideways since February 2023. We think it will be a good investment.
