Local Trade Idea: Remgro Ltd (REM) - BUY

 

Peet Serfontein & Motheo Tlhagale

We initiate a long position. Our upside target is set at R204. We recommend a stop-loss at R172.

Remgro is an investment holding company. Their investment portfolio spans across healthcare, consumer products, financial services, infrastructure and industrial. Remgro holds investments in Mediclinic, RCL Foods, OUTsurance, and FirstRand, amongst others.

The company invests in reputable businesses that are aligned with its values and purpose, with sound management teams that have the potential to deliver superior earnings, sustainable cash flow generation, and dividend growth over the long term.

Technically, the development of Wave 5 according to Elliott Wave Price Theory makes the share an interesting candidate for a long position (see the number notation on the main chart). This phase signals the resumption of the primary uptrend after consolidation, with renewed buying pressure and improving sentiment that can still drive meaningful upside, as the final impulsive wave unfolds.

The weekly bullish price swing also supports our view, as bullish swings are occurring more frequently than bearish ones. Such behaviour reflects strengthening demand and suggests that recent declines are corrective, reinforcing the case for further upside within an ongoing uptrend.

The share trading above its 200-day simple moving average (SMA) supports a bullish outlook, as this level is a key indicator of the long-term trend. Remaining above the 200-day average suggests sustained buying interest, constructive market sentiment, and a positive underlying trend, with the SMA also acting as potential support during short-term pullbacks.

Buy/Sell Rationale:

Technical Analysis:

    • The Relative Strength Index (RSI) behaviour supports our bullish bias (depicted on the lower panel), as momentum remains constructive without reaching extreme levels. The indicator has largely stayed within the neutral range, with repeated rebounds from lower levels and increasing time spent above 50, suggesting strengthening upside momentum. Recent downside momentum in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram can be viewed as short-term consolidation rather than a bearish signal, while the rising On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicates ongoing accumulation and strengthening underlying demand.
    • Our recommended entry range for this trade is between R179 to R184 - a drop below this level would indicate a structural change in the trend, giving reason to negate the idea.
    • Our target price is R204, representing upside of ~12.3% from current levels.
    • Our proposed time to exit is mid-May 2026, though investors can adjust for either a longer or shorter time horizon, depending on price behaviour.
    • A drop below R172 (downside of ~5.3% from current levels) would imply weakening technicals. As such, a stop-loss is recommended at this level.
    • We expect moderate price fluctuations and suggest a medium at-risk allocation for this trade.

Fundamental view:

    • Remgro invests in entities where it can identify sustainable value over the long term, focusing on businesses with barriers to entry and prospective returns exceeding Remgro's minimum internal rate of return.
    • As a holding company, Remgro's most critical function is capital allocation. Capital is sourced from returns on investments, disposals, borrowings or equity issuance, and deployed toward investments, debt repayment, dividends or share repurchases.
    • In terms of financial performance, Remgro released a trading statement indicating a strong improvement for the six months ended 31 December 2025, with headline earnings per share expected to increase by 36% to 41% to between 914 and 948 cents, compared to 672 cents in the prior period.
    • The earnings growth was driven by improved operational performances across most investee companies, reinforcing the group's diversified portfolio strength.
    • Management's commentary reinforces its commitment to disciplined capital allocation and continued portfolio rationalisation, with an emphasis on scarcity, capital strength and selective growth positioning.
    • Risks to our fundamental view include concentration risk to certain single names, particularly Mediclinic and OUTsurance, as well as continued negative sentiment toward investment holding companies.
    • The group's underlying investments remain highly exposed to the South African economy, and any deterioration in economic conditions could negatively impact portfolio performance.
    • Broader market weakness or a sustained risk-off environment may also result in renewed pressure on valuation multiples across the holding-company sector.

Comment The price remains in the Wyckoff accumulation phase but recently dipped below the 200-day simple moving average, while downside momentum raises some concern for the trade.

The profit target remains R79.00 with a trailing stop-loss at R66.00.
The possible development of Wave 1 under Elliott Wave theory remains of interest. The price has dipped below the 200-day SMA and downside momentum is a concern.

The profit target remains R46.70 with a trailing stop-loss at R39.00.
Strong volume support near the entry price remains constructive. The share trades below its 200-day SMA, making this a counter-trend strategy, while fading downside momentum provides some support.

The profit target remains R51.00 with a trailing stop-loss at R44.50.
A developing bullish pennant remains constructive while the share continues to trade above its 200-day SMA. Muted price momentum supports the trade idea.

The profit target remains R1 042.00 with a trailing stop-loss at R957.00.

Comment The stable pattern of rising troughs and recurring upward impulses remains constructive, with the share trading just above its 200-day simple moving average. However, downside momentum remains a concern for the trade idea.
