First-pass take

Pure-play thermal coal miner with zero AI exposure facing structural demand headwinds from energy transition. 2025 revenue fell 17%, EBITDA collapsed 81%, dividend unsustainable at 177% of FCF. Net cash (R5.1bn) offers downside cushion, but cyclical commodity exposure and negative operating leverage make it poor fit for AI-beneficiary strategy.
