In this episode of Ghost Wrap, I covered these important stories on the local market:

• Transaction Capital didn’t get quite as much as it hoped for the WeBuyCars shares, but still raised over R900 million at what seems like a good price. The group has also announced the sale of Nutun Australia.
• Sun International had some bright spots in 2023 and could really do with reduced load shedding as it gears up for the Peermont acquisition.
• Thungela is as cyclical as can be and has expanded into the Australian market – yet the capex split still tells a story of a predominantly South African group.
• OUTsurance reported a mixed bag of numbers and decent dividend growth overall, with significant attention on whether the push into Ireland will work.
