Scott Cummins – Incoming CEO, Aveng SAfm Market Update - Podcasts and live stream

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. JSE-listed Aveng, which recently relocated is management epicentre to Australia and changed its reporting currency from South African rands to Australian dollars, has no immediate intention of listing in Australia but acknowledges that such a move is possible in future. Incoming CEO Scott Cummins, the Australian civil engineer who succeeds South African Sean Flanagan on March 1, reiterated that governance and control of Aveng will continue to be in South Africa, where it will remain listed on the JSE. However, CFO Adrian Macartney, who is relocating to Melbourne to participate in the group's newly assembled executive structure, confirmed during a results presentation that the group had been assessing a diversification of its sources of capital for some time and that an Australian listing could, thus, represent a "natural home". He stressed that such a move was not imminent, and that no thought had yet been given to whether it would be a primary listing or a dual listing. The decision to change the reporting currency from rands to Australian dollars, he added, was not a precursor to a change in domicile, but rather a reflection of the fact that 91% of the group's revenue was sourced from outside South Africa. In addition, there were factors to consider - from tax to market recognition and receptiveness - before any listing decision could be taken. Cummins stressed that his immediate priority was to focus the group's infrastructure, building and contract mining brands of McConnell Dowell, Built Environs and Moolmans respectively on pursuing higher margins rather than revenue. "One hundred percent of my focus, and that of my executive team, is on improving the week-in, week-out performance of all of our business units, where we want to raise the margin percentage that we report to the market every six months," he said, while indicating that a listing in Australia could only be considered once a positive track-record had been firmly established. In the interim period to the end of December, the group's order book fell to A$3.6-billion (R44.5-billion) from A$4.2-billion (R52.2-billion) in June 2023. Headline earnings rose 74% to A$11.3-million (R137-million), from A$6.5-million (R77-million) in December 2022. He acknowledged the prevailing difficult trading conditions for mining in South Africa but insisted that the Moolmans fleet renewal programme would remain a priority, alongside efforts to diversify the company's client, commodity and geographic profile. Moolmans would remain focused on surface-mining but was keen to diversify away from the current dominance of manganese in its portfolio to include other commodities such as gold and uranium, with prospects in Namibia and West Africa being actively pursued. While transport infrastructure-related work was tapering somewhat in Australia, McConnell Dowell was moving to occupy a niche position in the growing market for new energy, including the conversion of gold mines into pumped-hydro schemes. Cummins indicated that McConnell Dowell would seek to consolidate its pioneering position in the pumped-hydro sector, while pursuing aspects of the broader renewable-energy construction market, such as the building of near-shore structures for offshore wind farms. Its Built Environs business, meanwhile, would continue to position itself for hospital construction work, given the relative complexity of such projects when compared with to the general building market. There was no intention, however, to re-enter the South African infrastructure and building markets, which Aveng exited when it sold Grinaker-LTA in 2019.

JSE-listed Aveng has entered into an agreement to sell Trident Steel as a going concern for R700-million, following what it acknowledges to have been a “protracted and difficult” disposal process that was first initiated in 2017. The buyer is Trident Steel Africa (TSA), a company specifically formed for the acquisition, and which is funded by a consortium of local and US private capital, including Ambassador Enterprises, of the US, Joseph Investments, Arbor Capital Investments and Trident Steel's management. “The disposal of Trident Steel has been protracted and difficult, however the board and management are satisfied that this transaction represents the best value for Aveng and shareholders,” Aveng CEO Sean Flanagan said in a statement. The proceeds generated from the transaction will be used to settle Aveng's remaining R406-million South African debt. The group had external debt of R3-billion when the turnaround strategy was first initiated in 2017; a strategy that involved noncore disposals with a combined value of R1.1-billion. Flanagan expressed confidence that the business, which supplied steel products primarily to the South African automotive, rail and mining industries, was being sold to a “credible consortium” that could continue Trident's growth trajectory and secure the future of its employees. The purchase price of R700-million, plus an amount of R264-million which represented the cash portion from the business, as well as a monthly ‘ticking fee' of R7.45-million, will be payable by TSA on or before the transaction's closing date – the first day of the calendar month following the date on which the remaining conditions precedent, including competition authority approval, were fulfilled or waived. Aveng would provide R210-million of funding to a separate company in order to subscribe for 30% of TSA equity, which will be warehoused for the earlier of either a year from the closing date or the finalisation of an empowerment deal. Once the Trident disposal is concluded, Aveng will have two remaining core businesses: McConnell Dowell, which operates in Australasia and South East Asia, and Moolmans, which has contract mining activities in southern, central and west Africa. Aveng is also considering a foreign listing given that a significant portion of the combined revenue of McConnell Dowell and Moolmans is derived from outside of South Africa.

Standard Bank's Richard Hirsch explains the implications of the Aveng 500:1 share consolidation that took place on the JSE today. Aveng was trading between 5c and 6c on the local bourse but after the consolidation, has settled around the R27.30 level, which would have previously been a share price of around 5.5c prior to the consolidation. The fundamentals of the business have not changed, the shares in issue have reduced significantly. If you owned 500 Aveng shares at either 5c or 6c, you would now own one share at the current share price of R27.30. The market value of the business hasn't changed, simply the shares in issue. Many brokerages did not account for this correctly and your portfolio may have rocketed up incorrectly.

In this episode of the BizNews Power Hour Magnus Heystek explains what two big developments of the past 24 hours mean for investors - Govt's Parliamentary defeat on its Constitutional changing proposal and its batting away of the mandatory vaccine suggestion from Big Business; Richard Hirsch runs us through the Aveng 500-for-1 consolidation which took effect today; plus in-depth interviews with Sakeliga's Piet le Roux and Russell Lamberti; and NEASA's Gerhard Papenfus on how independent businesses are viewing vaccine mandates - and EWC.

This episode goes twice as large to cover the 101's with the penny stock OG.  DJ @ Large recently hit up Financial Mail's Editor-At-Large, Marc Hasenfuss, to give us an overview of the world of penny stocks on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Marc takes us on a journey from when companies like Capitec, Steers (now part of Famous Brands), and others, were once penny stocks, to more recent times such as his personal experience of our very own Purple Group.The conversation highlights both the power behind penny stocks as well as the pitfalls to look out for, the role social media plays in the markets, understanding the companies you look to invest in, and more. Marc also touches on his experience in journalism and music.

Counterpoint Value Fund manager Piet Viljoen shares his investment insight on a busy week of corporate activity for JSE-listed companies. The mining sector has been especially vibrant, with Sibanye-Stillwater, Impala Platinum and African Rainbow Minerals all announcing sizable deals. Private and listed property investment in South Africa is discussed, with Viljoen outlining that the glory days for REITs have come and gone. Aveng and AB InBev are looked at from an investment angle to wrap up the conversation.

In tonight's episode of the BizNews Power Hour, Piet Viljoen breaks down the latest in the markets, plus the recent addition of Aveng in the BizNews Portfolio; Tim Modise weights in on local elections to be held next week results after interviewing two of the top three candidates for Joburg mayor; EOH CEO Stephen Van Coller; and Bernard Mostert on the court's ruling to finally liquidate Steinhoff.

In tonight's episode of the BizNews Power Hour, 10X founder and former top rated investment analyst Steven Nathan's views on the BizNews Portfolio's newest addition - Aveng; Resources guru Peter Major unpacks Sibanye Stillwater's latest acquisition - mines extracting nickel and copper in South America; CEO of Spear REIT, Quintin Rossi, shares the Western Cape-focused company's latest results; Bureau of Investigative Journalism's international editor - James Ball let's us in on the episode seven of Smoke Screen which has evidnece suggesting leading UK listed group British American Tobacco paid a $500k bribe to the Mugabe Regime.

The BizNews Investment Portfolio has been a roaring success for over seven years. Since inception, the portfolio has managed to achieve a compound annual growth rate – the primary indicator of investment performance – of over 20% in both rand and dollar terms. This is an incredible achievement with some of the world's very best investment professionals unable to achieve this feat. BizNews founder Alec Hogg has put his faith in technology-centric businesses, predominantly the high-flying US tech large cap names, which have been outperformers for the better part of the last decade. Hogg, a disciple of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger's investment principles, turns his eye to local construction company Aveng. On the brink of collapse in 2018, Aveng has implemented a turnaround strategy that seems to be bearing fruit. After valuable insight from the ever-rational Piet Viljoen and decorated mining executive Bernard Swanepoel's appointment to the board, Hogg has dived into this fallen angel in the hope it will rise again. 

In tonight's episode of the BizNews Power Hour, Alec Hogg on the BizNews Portfolio's newest purchase Aveng; Resources guru Peter Major unpacks Implats' plans to buy Royal Bafokeng Platinum; Mishal Patel, Sable International's British and nationality expert sheds light on the intricacies of obtaining British citizenship; and Linda van Tilburg explores what happed to the Oppenheimer's billion during Covid.

Steven Nathan joins Alec Hogg to discuss the BizNews Share Portfolio, among other things. The Share Portfolio has been going for nearly seven years now, with the most recent addition being Aveng. Nathan comments on portfolio construction, giving his thoughts on structuring your investments. "You might be 30 years old [and] your retirement horizon is 35 years. Your objective is to say, when I hit 65, I want to have the biggest retirement pot possible, without being silly along the way." He also comments on Aveng, giving a brief overview of the company.

Counterpoint money manager Piet Viljoen talks us through what was a busy week for local and international markets. Viljoen – rational as always – talks highly of Bernard Swanepoel, a decorated mining executive who was recently appointed to the board of debt-laden construction company Aveng. He believes Swanepoel's in-depth mining experience will be invaluable to Aveng as the mining industry is one of its primary drivers of revenue. The global energy crunch is also discussed, with Viljoen bullish on counters within the sector owing to constrained supply as a result of underinvestment in the industry. The different investment styles, such as growth vs value investing, is also touched on, with Viljoen outlining that there is more than one way to skin a cat when managing money. 

Counterpoint Value Fund manager Piet Viljoen gives us the inside scoop of what is happening in the local and global investment markets. The conversation includes an array of topics, with Piet outlining the thesis behind Aveng's 500:1 share consolidation. Investment holding structures, namely PSG and Long4Life, are discussed at length as well as Brian Joffe stepping down from the role of CEO at Long4Life. The commodity counters and global markets primary fear, inflation, wrap up the conversation.

We are still running our survey. Please take two minutes to help us here. Around the beginning of every year we notice a strange phenomenon. Energised by the holidays and inspired to turn life into an everlasting vacation, investors start searching for the investment Holy Grail. “What is the one, hot thing that will finally liberate me from the shackles of employment?”  The opportunity that generates the most excitement changes every year, but the pattern is the same. Newbies and impatient veterans alike flock to alternative assets, penny stocks or underdog listed companies believed to be the next hot thing.  This is an especially alarming tendency in first-time investors who have no other savings or investments to fall back on. Some of the questions we've seen this year are: Is it wise to buy Aveng shares now? Has anyone invested in the alternative stock exchange on the JSE? If you have, how does it work ? I'm looking to invest in penny shares through my bank FNB, how do I go about that? How do you buy "Doge Coin"? I don't know a lot about it but I just wanna try it out. What makes this question complicated is that there are sometimes hot things that run forever. By the time the rest of us wake up to the opportunity, it's over. How can we tell what has the potential to be the next hot thing and what is sure to wipe out our investment? Here are a few tips we identified throughout the course of our conversation: Do you have an investment strategy unrelated to this opportunity? If you have an existing investment strategy, have you confirmed that this purchase fits into your long-term investment plans? Why are you considering this? If it's only because someone else said so, do more research. Can you afford to take this risk? Only consider it if you can afford to lose 100% of your money. Are you considering this because a company called you about it? If it were really that great, would it need a marketing strategy? Is it listed? If it's a penny stock (a stock whose share price is only a few cents), has the price been steadily increasing over a period? Remember, for something to be a ten-bagger, it first needs to be a one-bagger.  What are the fees on this investment? Your fees have to be deducted from your returns before you get your real return.  What is your investment horizon? If this is part of your long-term investment strategy, will this product be around for long enough? How do you get out of this investment? Some over the counter (OTC) products can only be sold under certain conditions. A 100% profit is worth 0 if you can't cash in your investment. Subscribe to our RSS feed here.

Win of the week: Wesley W  Hey Buckles (better combined name than Chubbles...)  If one assumes a dividend yield of +- 2% and you pay foreign DWT of 30%, then the effect would be a DWT of 0.6% (30% of 2%) of your total investment. If you were to have this in your TFSA you could almost treat this as an additional cost to your TER for comparison sake. If the index did poorly and no dividends were paid the extra cost of DWT wouldn't apply, but based on a long-term investment that yields the 2% dividend average, you could factor in what you're losing out in tax as per the below. E.g if you were choosing between MSCI World vs Ashburton 1200 you could compare the costs as follows: Ashburton = TER = 0.55% p.a  MSCI World = 0.6% DWT + 0.35% TER = 0.95% p.a I initially went for the MSCI world in my tax free account based on TER difference and assuming the DWT might be minimal but now that I look at the numbers it seems I might have been mistaken. Vincent  Will the government increase the 1/3 of the lump sum value withdrawal on maturity of an RA? What is 500k going to be worth in 40 years? It seems pointless to take out an RA when the withdrawal amount is not adapting with inflation each year or at least increasing to cater for the cost of living?  I'm doing the RA thing, but only until my TFSA lifetime limit is reached via all my rebates from SARS [13 years to go]. Thereafter I'll stop contributing to the RA. RAs aren't podium investments, but should I set the quality of growth in an RA aside and see the tax break as the big win?  Would you say that having an enormous amount of money well distributed in ETFs is the way to go when debts, TFSA, RA and emergency funds are sorted?  You'll have this major asset base ready to sell when the tekkie hits the tar. You'll pay CGT and Dividend tax at most, and both will be lower than your marginal tax rate. Dividend payouts or general interest/capital gain can be used as your monthly income, versus monthly annuity payouts as you'll probably outlive your RA and never use/see the full value. Stephen  I see Long for Life have an aggressive share buyback strategy. Berkshire Hathaway and others also utilise this mechanism to boost their share price - I assume. From my observation it normally illustrates that the company believes their share is undervalued. However, can this not also be seen as insider trading? What's to stop a company initiating a share buyback when they know there is something big in the pipeline? Are there corporate governance processes in place to stop this happening? I just don't know if we as investors should see a share buyback as a buying opportunity. Hendrik I am trying to understand the NFGovi ETF. I am looking for a high as possible risk-free income yielding investment for my in-laws, whose capitec 49-month deposit at 10.25% is about to lapse. The renew options look very poor under current circumstances and I am struggling to find anything north of 8% that defends capital. I am aware that nfgovi etf does not guarantee capital and there is price movement risk. I would just like to wrap my head around that option and understand all factors.  Wesley Instead of two RA accounts which was my plan, rather a much larger single account. At 55, immediately convert this large RA to a living annuity. Growth in the account is still tax free, as is income and Dividends. Adjust asset allocation of this big LA to get more international diversification. (I expect a significant amount of my spending to be in other currencies so global is a basket of currencies, which is ideal.) If I don't want additional income and tax burden, set the distribution to the minimum percentage allowable eg 1.5%. Contribute to a new RA account to offset the tax burden of this excess income. My LA + RA asset allocation in aggregate can have geographic diversification, can be better matched to my spending and I have control of my income / tax.  If the tax free lump amount is adjusted upwards, check if I need to contribute extra so that 1/3 takes advantage of the adjusted tax table, then retire from this RA the following month. Repeat as necessary. This will get the significant tax free lump sum(s) out as soon as possible, which seems ideal to me. I can spend this lump sum cash initially while deferring higher withdrawals and therefore higher tax from the LA(s) to squeeze out a bit more tax free compounding. Craig Despite my attempts at getting them to increase it sufficiently enough so I don't need to go through it every month, I fail. It seems it might all be automated with fixed rules, as the “agents” never really seem to read or acknowledge my pleas / questions. They just ask for payslips and bank statements then I get an email saying it's all sorted. Rinse & repeat the following month.  Have you guys heard anything about this process? How would you suggest I explain to them why the percentage they have chosen should not apply to me, as previous attempts of mine have all failed? I'm wondering if once your portfolio hits a certain size or if your monthly contributions are over a certain size, if it might be better to go with another provider? Do you know if other providers also make you jump through these hoops to spend your money on ETFs? Brett I have just been sent an email from the money transfer company I use. I am not sure if this is new regulation that has been put in place. I am a SA tax payer, but am starting to rethink this decision. Can you confirm that this new tax has in fact been put in place?

I only do real coffee from beans (the only thing God created to be in powder form is the Sahara desert), and I regard meat as being food, and the rest on my plate I eat only not to be rude to the cook. I am at my best when I train, coach or mentor people who reflect the need and willingness to become the best they can be".Support the show (https://www.linkedin.com/company/42932552)

Simon Shares Day 126 of lockdown and Covid-19, cases may be moderating? Sasol (JSE code: SOL) sells some assets for R8.5billion and the stock is up over 12%. The sale is SA gas operations at Secunda. A sale and leaseback as Sasol only customer. But gets Sasol cash to pay down debt so good news short term, less so long-term. Korean websites also reporting on a possible 50% sale of US Ethane Cracking Center for US$3.3billion, which cost +US$12billion to build (for the other bits as well). Trading update due next week will give more details about the LCCP right downs which will surely be massive, but as importantly also maybe on the possible rights issue? Gold above US$1,900 and looking strong, albeit as I say that it'll now surely collapse in a heap as even I now own gold stocks? South Africa gets a US$4.289billion loan from the IMF. It's a very small amount and at great terms of around a 1% interest rate, albeit currency risk has to be hedged out.

I not commenting on the EE offer as they've withdrawn it. But many have asked about script lending as a concept. If I want to go short (make money from a falling stock) I need to sell shares and naked shorting is not allowed by the JSE (or most exchanges). So I need to borrow stock from somebody. Usually, you borrow from a large institutional investor who has plenty, you pay a fee and will also be liable to pay the lender any entitlements such as dividends. This process happens in the background when you're shorting via derivatives and why some shares are not sortable, no script to borrow. The script lender earns a fee, but there is risk so default. Whoever you lent the script to may not be able to return the script. Maybe they're just a crook? Maybe they can't afford to close out the position. remember they sold to buy back lower, but what if an offer arrives and the stock jumps say 50%? It certainly can and some income to a portfolio but the risk needs to be managed and the income is fairly modest. That said I've never lent out my script but I have borrowed script in recent years for some shorting (Aveng and Lonmin). JSE – The JSE is a registered trademark of the JSE Limited.

Aton out smartens Aveng (JSE code: AEG) and Murray and Roberts (JSE code: MUR) with a 25.4% in Aveng that can effectively block any special resolutions such as a take over. Alternative if the deal between MUR and AEG goes ahead, Aton will get MUR shares as a AEG shareholder which should ensure they end up with 50% +1 and in complete control at MUR. Torre (JSE code: TOR) is maybe delisting. There will be a shareholder vote and if it passes you'll either get the money or remain a shareholder but in an unlisted company. The later is a horrid idea as liquidity and price discovery is typically zero. I Also think we'll likely see more small cap stocks delisting. What can you do? Vote. There will be a vote by shareholders and you have every right to vote against it and as a delisting requires a special resolution 75% +1 is the required minimum to pass. Organise. Find other small shareholders (easier said than done) and get them to vote against. Talk to management and large shareholders. You may be a small shareholder but you have your rights and potential influence. Fight against interested parties voting. Using above also try and get the price raised. At the end of the day, if you're in the minority you lose. That's how voting works.

On this week's comedy news podcast, we have a few funny topics. Including, the trademarked smell of play-doh (why don't they just spell it play dough?). In addition to this we have a case of mistaken identify from the police.. Honch jumps in with a story from Vancouver, Canada, where a criminal was listed as a drug dealer #1 on his phone, for which he was busted by police. We also find out what Honch is called on his cell phone. The moral of the story is stop challenging the authority....because there is always a reason why you get arrested...and be careful what your phone calls you After getting arrested by the police, Jethrow tackles questions from Reddit, where we learn about the guys' worst fears including heights, being afraid of bees. Jethrow screams like a girl...and then runs from bees. He's not allergic to bees, but extremely afraid of them...especially the ones in his shed where his lawnmower is. The Honch is afraid of the kids slime, but he's really afraid of snakes and his willing to burn his house down to get away from them. We went way off topic to..from dog poop, to seaweed, to exercise, to throwing your back out. After attempting to get back off topic, your childhood is about to be mixed up. The smell of Play-Doh is now trademarked. You got that right, the 'distinctive' smell of Play-Doh, which is described as, "sweet, slightly musky, vanilla like fragrance..." is trademarked. It caused Honch to drop some dough in his pants. Making kids regular since the mid 1900's. After talking about Play-Doh, we talk about traveling back into time to half of your age, what would you do to change your futures? D would get the book from Back to The Future and win the lottery a few times. Honch would bet on Tom Brady, and Jethrow would leave himself for messages the future to not do certain things. D discusses his love of the NBC TV show Timeless. You'll need an ambulance to listen to this.
