A joke of a company. Poor service, declining market and dishonest management. Can't trust anything coming out of the mouths of these guys. Glad I sold out of this shady company last year. http://www.moneyweb.co.za/moneyweb-opinion/mtns-not-so-little-reputation-nightmare/

It's back on that support line again. Probably a short term buy.

If it breaks R122 and closes below, we going to retest 2016 lows

Well, that support line has held about 6 times. The idea behind trading is that patterns repeat themselves, until they don't!(and when they don't you have an exit strategy in place). It is also overbought on the daily chart, so seems a low risk area to buy.

Good move Preston, with a bit of luck it might start working its way back up to the R150 level again!

VOD market cap now exceeds that of MTN..

As well it should. MTN is in decline and current management certainly can't turn it around.

Mtn share price effectively discounts Nigeria and Iran down to Nil.

@Hali, that was the very reason why I bought the equity shares.

They have 232+ million users and counting. If they can find a way (beyond data) to monetise them... At 10X F/HEPS + 10% Trailing normalised DIV. yield - it looks very cheap. There are far less interesting prospects on the market trading substantially dearer - VOD springs to mind.

At the current market Cap we valueing each customer at R980 and eaxh VOD customer at +/-R4000.. Doesn't seem correct to me..somethings gta give..

@Hali, are you buying/selling or sitting on your hands in respect of MTN?

In fairness though - they are a different class of customer - with much higher "average spend" profiles. The true value lies somewhere inbetween as always

With the management team they have now? I wouldn't bet on it.

They have brought in a new management team. Overseas investors are turning to emerging market stocks for yield and growth. AND it loks as if the 50DMA is about to cross the 200DMA to the up (golden cross) At R120 it was well worth a dabble. Longer term - who cares - cell phone companies are all doomed IMO.
