Our opinion on the current state of ARCINVEST(AIL)African Rainbow Capital (AIL) is a BEE investment company that was formed in 2015 and listed on the JSE in September 2017. Since its formation, AIL has invested in more than forty listed and unlisted investments across a wide range of industries, including telecommunications, mining, construction, energy, property, agriculture, insurance, asset management, and banking.
ARC Investments is 44.4% effectively owned by African Rainbow Capital Proprietary Limited (ARC), which in turn is 100% owned by Ubuntu-Botha Investments Proprietary Limited (UBI). UBI effectively owns 51.2% of ARC Investments. AIL is thus owned through Ubuntu-Botha Investments by the Motsepe family through their trusts.
In the South African context, AIL has a significant advantage in finding suitable companies in which to invest because it can offer them a solid, reliable BEE shareholder. AIL has benefited from an investment by Sanlam and owns a stake in the Sanlam subsidiary, Santam. The company acquired 100% of TymeDigital, which has launched a digital bank in partnership with Pick 'n Pay. It offers digital banking, especially for those who cannot afford normal banking, via their phones, and had the distinction of being the only bank in South Africa not to charge transaction fees. It competes with other new banks in South Africa like Discovery Bank and Bank Zero.
AIL has taken a hit on its investment in EOH (which may now be improving) but has done well in most other areas. Roughly half of the AIL portfolio is in what it describes as "early lifestyle stage businesses" such as Tymebank, Rain, and Kropz. These investments are seen as disruptive in their sectors but will take time to mature. It also owns 7% of Afrimat, having reduced its stake from 18.4%.
If there is a criticism of this investment holding company, it must be its lack of focus. It appears to be invested in a very diverse range of industries without significant synergies or economies of scale. The need for most South African companies to have a stable BEE partner gives it an edge in finding and negotiating good deals, but its lack of focus may eventually become a problem.
The share trades at a fraction of its intrinsic NAV. It was 59% of its NAV after falling about 25% in the last six months to 2023. The discount makes it good value and may result in "unbundling" some of that value into the hands of shareholders in due course. The directors have said that they will consider delisting from the JSE if the discount persists because the listing cannot be used to raise further capital at current share prices.
On 21st November 2023, the company announced a rights issue to raise R742.35m. Shareholders will get 11.06579 new shares for every 100 shares they hold at a 7.32% discount to the volume-weighted average price on 10th November 2023.
In its results for the six months to 31st December 2024, the company reported net asset value (NAV) up 3.2% to 1278c per share. The company said, "Rain - strong performance of rainOne and Rain mobile offerings. TymeBank – 10.7 million customers and increased activity per customer. Tyme Global – GOtyme customer base has more than doubled to 5 million. Alexforbes – strong share price performance on the back of solid results and a positive outlook."
The company announced that it will be delisting from the JSE, and shareholders are offered 975c per share, which is a 22.8% discount to the NAV.
Technically, the share was falling since March 2023. We recommended applying a 200-day moving average and waiting for a clear upside break before investigating further. That break came on 26th April 2024 at 544c per share. The delisting offer means that anyone who acted on that suggestion made a capital gain of 79% in just under one year.

Kropz continues making progress at both Kropz Elandsfontein and Cominco. The Bluespec Group continues to be a strong performer within the business process outsourcing (BPO) pillar of the ARC Fund. Consumer Friend, the biggest business unit in the Upstream Group, took two prestigious awards at this year's Debt Review Awards.

In an update for the three months to 31st March 2024, the company reported steady growth in RainOne and sales of 80,771 tons of phosphate concentrate at Kropz. Bluespec performed as expected, and Ooba maintained market share. The company said, "The Tyme Group has a customer base of 12.4 million across South Africa and the Philippines, with 9.2 million TymeBank customers and 3.2 million GoTymeBank customers. The group onboards approximately 450,000 new customers monthly, with 250,000 for GoTymeBank and 200,000 for TymeBank."

Overall, African Rainbow Capital appears to be an undervalued investment holding company with a diverse portfolio and significant potential. However, investors should be aware of the company's broad focus and potential volatility. The recent rights issue and improvements in key investments suggest a positive outlook.

ARC Investments falling wedge breakout false or sustainable?After falling to lows of R1.92 in March 2020, JSE:AIL began its upward journey and got caught in a trading range between R4.72 and R8.00 from November 2021.
The share closed at R6.01 yesterday after breaking out of a falling wedge it had been painting from 30th March 2023 within the trading range. The first signal of a build up of bullish momentum was when price painted lower lows between 26th July 2023 and 23rd August 2023 while the DAILY RSI was painting higher lows, a clear bullish divergence.
Looking at the currrent breakout, price closed at R6.17 on Friday the 15th of Sep, closing well above the 50 Day EMA and had some profit taking on Moday the 18th which saw the R6.01 close, still slightly above the 50 Day EMA. The 21 Day EMA has still not yet crossed over above the 50 Day EMA however it is pointing up.The Daily RSI is pointing down around the neutral zone but is above its smoothing line.
So long as price finds support around R5.88, we could see a strong bullish break of R6.17 which could see price journey to test R8.00 levels and reach further to R9.10.
Aggressive long entries could be taken as R6.17 is broken and conservative long entries would be after the 21 Day EMA crosses the 50 Day EMA, which will most likely be above R6.41.
if the zone around R5.88 fails as support and turns into a resistance, the instrument could see price tumble to R5.20 and lower to R4.72 ~ R4.95.
