Karooooo trades at R1,000.47, which is 62% above the R384.38 our discounted cash flow model puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.

Our moat model scores it 88 out of 100, which is a wide moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

It changes hands at 29.9 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

KRO.JO passes 6 of our 30 screens today

Each screen prints the exact criteria it used, and the circumstances in which it is wrong.

Wide moat compounders
Businesses with a structural reason competitors cannot take their profits away. The rarest and most valuable thing in investing.
Growing dividend payers
A modest yield attached to a growing business beats a large yield attached to a shrinking one, every time, over any horizon that matters.
High return on equity, low debt
A high ROE is easy to fake with borrowing. This screen demands the return without the leverage, which is a much shorter list.
Growth at a reasonable price
Real growth, without the multiple that usually comes attached to it. The middle ground between value and growth, and the hardest place to find anything.
AI and semiconductors
The companies building the AI boom. Some are near-monopolies with the best moats in industry. Some are commodities in a lab coat.
South Africa and the JSE
A commodity and currency market wearing an equity market's clothes. The index can rise on a good day in Beijing.
