GRT trade ideas
Our opinion on the current state of GROWPNT(GRT)Growthpoint (GRT) is South Africa's largest real estate investment trust (REIT) with a primary listing on the JSE. Prior to COVID-19, it consistently grew its dividends 3% above the inflation rate on average over the last 15 years.
The company owns 434 properties in South Africa worth R71bn. In addition, it has a 62,2% interest in Growthpoint Properties Australia (GOZ), which is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and owns 57 properties worth R49,8bn, and an 18,2% investment in ASX-listed Industrial REIT. It also has 4 equity-accounted investments worth R16bn, including a 50% holding of the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, a 29,4% stake in Global Real Estate Investments listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), and a 21,6% interest in Global Worth Poland Real Estate (GWRE), listed in Warsaw. Altogether, Growthpoint has 59,2% of its assets in South Africa and 40,8% elsewhere.
The company has acquired a 60,8% stake in Capreg, listed in London and on the JSE, which owns 7 properties in the UK worth R14,8bn. We regard Growthpoint as a high-quality blue-chip property group and a solid long-term investment for private investors.
The company is battling with an oversupply of office space following COVID-19 and the work-from-home movement. In its results for the year to 30th June 2024, the company reported net property income up 1%, with the V&A Waterfront's distributable income up 12,6%. The company said, "High interest rates across the Group continue to negatively impact distributable income, with total cost of funding increasing by 16.2% to R4 394.0m." The company's net asset value (NAV) fell by 6,1% to 2020c per share. The group's loan-to-value (LTV) was 42,3%, up from the previous year’s figure of 40,1%.
In an update on the 3 months to 30th September 2024, the company reported retail vacancies, including office space at the centers, at 5,9% - up from the previous quarter's 5,5%. The company said, "Notwithstanding ongoing macroeconomic constraints, albeit less severe, and an oversupply of office space, particularly in Gauteng in the Sandton node, our office portfolio KPIs are showing continuous improvement, and our innovative leasing strategies are producing positive results. We successfully concluded leases of 48 269m² and renewals of 30 039m², reducing vacancies to 14.2% from 15.1% at FY24."
Technically, the Growthpoint share has been trending up for the past year and looks set to continue in that direction, especially as interest rates continue to fall. The share is still trading well below its NAV.
On 12th November 2020, the company announced that it had raised R4,3bn through an accelerated book-build in which it sold 358,3m shares for R12 each. Despite the challenges in the office space sector, Growthpoint's diversified portfolio, strong retail presence, and ongoing recovery efforts position it well for future growth.
$JSEGRT - Growthpoint Prop: Is A Bottom In At 914cps?See link below for previous analysis.
There's a case to be made that the five wave decline from 3150 is complete.
If that is the case, 914cps should hold and the bear market bottom is in.
I am looking at the advance from 914 to 1218 as wave (i) and the pullback as wave (ii); wave (ii) may not yet be complete but should terminate above 914 for this bullish outlook to remain valid.
A break above 1218 will give greater conviction that the stock is starting to advance in wave (iii).
The large bearish structure from May 2013 is an expanded flat. In expanded flats, wave (B) of the 3-3-5 pattern terminates beyond the starting level of wave (A), and wave (C) ends more substantially beyond the ending level of wave (A).

We regard Growthpoint as a high-quality blue-chip property group and a solid long-term investment for private investors. On 20th July 2021, the company reported damage to its properties following the unrest in Natal. It said that Watercrest Mall (50% owned) and City View were looted and damaged, representing 4.64% of total retail GLA, as well as 5 industrial properties, representing 2.73% of the company’s industrial gross lettable area (GLA).
The company is battling with an oversupply of office space following COVID19 and the work-from-home move. In its results for the year to 31st December 2023, the company reported revenue up 4% and finance costs up 16.9%. The loan-to-value (LTV) was 42%, which is too high in our view. Headline earnings per share (HEPS) fell by 34.2%. The company said, "Interest rates, globally and domestically, are expected to be higher for longer, impacting both our domestic operations and offshore investments. The second half of FY24 presents further domestic volatility with the SA national elections on 29 May 2024, coupled with ongoing load shedding and infrastructure deterioration."
Technically, the Growthpoint share fell heavily in March 2020 as the pandemic took effect and has been moving sideways and downwards since. The share is still trading well below its NAV. We see it as relatively cheap at current levels but it may fall further. On 12th November 2020, the company announced that it had raised R4.3bn through an accelerated book-build in which it sold 358.3m shares for R12 each.
#GRT worth a buyI think once can accumulate Growthpoint between 1020-1030 for an eventual pop to 1070, 1090 and 1110 (200day ma). There is some forced selling due to the MSCI index rebalancing but once this is over the stock should get some legs again. If buying use a stop loss as a close below 1000.
the 20dma which was previously resistance has now turned into support and the stock is trading in an upward channel with higher lows and higher highs which makes the structure bullish imo.
$JSEGRT GROWTHPOINT PROP LTDA Monthly chart here with an enormous Head & Shoulders pattern, with the neckline even slightly sloping to the right. If the price stays here until month end, the neckline will definitely be broken to the downside and perhaps share holders should start giving some serious attention to this, if not concerned yet. Their luck will be that at least the price cannot reach the full target of the Head & Shoulders pattern.
The Bull vs Bear Channel ActionGrowthpoint is showing 2 opposing scenarios, a bullish downward slopping parallel channel depicted by the pink lines and a bearish rising parallel channel depicted by the black lines. Price fell out of the rising parallel channel and is now backtesting it from below where it meets the 30 week moving average, if we convert the chart to a daily timeframe we see that the black line is nearly converging with 200 day moving average. Since price is within timing band for a daily cycle high, we can expect a pullback that would reset the indicators before moving higher to overcome the 200 day moving average. It is worth noting that price has confirmed a weekly cycle low by closing above the pink downward slopping line.
Stop-loss: We will be watching where price settles into a daily cycle low, that price becomes a stop-loss in the event that price goes lower than it. This would signal that trend has resumed a bearish view with higher probability we will go lower than R11.29.
Tip When drawing channels or support lines, try to project them well into the future. This will give a guide on areas where to expect price to consolidate or change course. Areas of intersecting lines tends to attract price & provide a turning point, these make good profit taking or short entry points.
#GRT Growthpoint finding a ST Bottom ahead of Dividend #JSEStock goes ex dividend of 65c on the 18th of October. At current prices that is a dividend yield of approx 6.5%! Given the doji candlestick, reversal after 2 days of elevated volume, i have every reason to feel like a short term bottom is in here which could see the stock rise into the dividend date next week Wednesday. my two targets are the 23.6% and 38.2% fib retracement levels at R10.66 and R11.16. I rate this as a buy at current levels of R10.00-R10.30 with a stop below R9.86. (also forgot to mention the divergence forming on the RSI daily)
GROWTHPOINT Properties - 52 Week LowAnother stock at its 52-week low and reaching the next previous support level around R10.40
R11.50 is now major resistance which needs to be overcome if bulls want to reverse this back towards the 200dma.
Below R10 things could get ugly. (S2 pivot support at next wing low).

Growth-Point False Breakdown Makes Long AttractiveGrowth-Point had a false breakdown out of the rising wedge. It is now expected to backtest the trendline forming a triangle with the lower support line. This backtest is worthy of long position with expectation that price will trend towards the upper resistance of the rising wedge.

Price pushed a little further up from the day of the analysis but remained below 1610.

The large structure from May 2013 is an expanded flat. In expanded flats, wave (B) of the 3-3-5 pattern terminates beyond the starting level of wave (A), and wave (C) ends more substantially beyond the ending level of wave (A).
Short the rallies below 1509.
GRT: presenting some upside potential?A price action above 1170 supports a bullish trend direction.
Confirmation for the bullish trend above 1200.
The target level is set at 1250 (200-day simple moving average).
The stop-loss level is at 1130 (lower range of the linear regression channel pattern).
MACD (lower panel) gave a bullish crossover, confirming a change in trend direction to bullish. This occurred in oversold territory.
UPDATE Growthpoint hit its target at R11.88 warning - Load ShedH&S formed on Growthpoint.
We mentioned this was one of those low probability trades.
However, the overall trend won (as most of the time it does) and down it went.
The target hit at R11.88
And unfortunately, I see further downside to come.
LOADSHEDDING AND PROPERTY COMPANIES!
It seems like the 6 hour - 12 hour day Eskom load shedding is having somewhat an effect on property companies.
I'm no property expert but I assume there would be problems like:
1. Load shedding can lead to tenant dissatisfaction and increased vacancies.
2. Power outages disrupt property management and maintenance operations.
3. Frequent load shedding creates a negative perception of affected areas. As they say Location, Location Location
4. I imagine the power solutions (generators, alternators etc...) are extremely costly investments for backup with these property companies.
And just in general, power outages are having a broader economic impact, affecting businesses and consumer spending.
GRT Idea (Short Term)This trade idea was published on our client platform in the last few minutes. For more research insights, including trade ideas, get in touch today.
Note that this view might be in contrast to the higher time frames (weekly/monthly) which suggest a downward/weak trend . Preferred entry at 1172c or slightly lower. At current levels, the share may be in the early stages of developing a short term base while possibly poised for a short term countertrend bullish reversal. This view is driven by the following factors: (1) The presence of oversold conditions in recent days (the 7 and 14-day RSI printing 12 and 23 respectively on Thursday 18-May). (2) The price extension versus the 50/100-EMA (3) Positive candle structure on Friday and today (long tail and bullish engulfing thus far) (4) The 7-day RSI crossing above the 14-day RSI which increases the chances of a bullish reversal. Time Stop: 21 July 2023
