$JSEARI-African Rainbow Minerals: A New Road Map if 14662 HoldsSee link below for previous analysis. Price continued higher to peak at 24476 cps after the previous analysis. The strong sell-off broke below 15503 thereby invalidating the outlook. Reason for optimism though is that the key invalidation level of 14662 still holds. I am now looking at the large corrective structure as an expanded flat for wave 2. For this outlook to remain valid, 14662 must continue to hold and to a lesser degree, 15263 could be a key bottom as well. I am bullish above 14662 cps.Longby Loyiso_BlaqueSoros_Mpeta0
Our opinion on the current state of ARM(ARI)African Rainbow Minerals (ARI) is a diversified mining company controlled by Patrice Motsepe, engaged in various mining ventures, including platinum group metals (PGM), iron ore, manganese, chrome, coal, and copper. The company also owns a 12.2% stake in Harmony Gold, leading to some speculation about possible acquisitions or strategic partnerships. One potential acquisition could involve the Wafi-Golpu copper and gold resource, jointly owned by Harmony and Australian mining company Newcrest. Harmony is seeking financial support to cover its share of the development cost for this massive resource, estimated at around R21bn, and ARM could potentially be part of that solution. In addition to this, ARM is looking for acquisitions of "green metals" mines—those that produce metals used in efforts to avert climate change, which aligns with the global move towards sustainability. In its results for the year ending 31st December 2023, ARM reported a 43% decrease in headline earnings and net cash of R7,935m. Despite an 8% weakening of the average rand exchange rate against the US dollar and a 6% increase in export iron ore sales, the company faced challenges. ARM Platinum, in particular, experienced a significant downturn, with headline earnings 121% lower, resulting in a R282 million loss compared to R1,330 million in earnings for the first half of the previous financial year. This was attributed to depressed commodity prices and above-inflation unit cost increases. In a trading statement for the year ending 30th June 2024, ARM estimated that headline earnings would decrease by between 40% and 50%. The decline in earnings was primarily due to a decrease in the average US dollar 6E PGM basket price and lower thermal coal prices. Technically, the share has been declining since the beginning of 2023 due to falling commodity prices but may be nearing a bottom. ARM is a strong mining company with stability gained from its diversification into base metals. However, it remains a risky investment, especially if the board decides to venture into new areas like Wafi-Golpu, which would require significant long-term commitment.by PDSnetSA2
$JSEARI - African Rainbow Minerals: The Short-Mid-Term Road MapSee link below for the long-term view. Looking at price action from 14662: The advance to 20300 is a leading diagonal for wave 1. The correction to 15503 is a zig zag for wave 2. The stock is now in the early stages of wave 3 which can only be a five wave impulse. Waves {i to v} in green give the idealized road map for wave 3. 15503 is the secondary invalidation but 14662, as the primary invalidation level, is the level which will lead to the whole invalidation of this bullish outlook should price break below it.

$JSEARI - African Rainbow Minerals: The Big PictureThis is the first time of ARM. The big picture is one of very volatile swings in price as can be seen by the points and percentage changes in price when the stock is in bear mode. 2005 to 2008 was a great bull market where all one had to do was buy and hold. 2008 to 2016 was a big bear market that unfolded in a three wave zig zag pattern. The advance from 2016 to the all time high in 2023 was very choppy and I am tentatively labelling it as a large leading diagonal for a higher degree wave {1}. With this tentative outlook, I am labelling the sell-off from 31900 to 14662 as wave {2}. The correction for wave {2} is the third largest in points and looking at the V-bottom reversals in history, 14662 could be a significant bottom. This bullish outlook will be invalidated by a break below 14662. ARM has diversified operations in Iron-Ore, Coal, Manganese and Platinum (PGMs) but the fundamental outlook is beyond the scope of this analysis. Longby Loyiso_BlaqueSoros_Mpeta0
Our opinion on the current state of ARIAfrican Rainbow Minerals (ARI), under the leadership of Patrice Motsepe, stands as a notable diversified mining company in South Africa, with operations spanning across a wide range of minerals including platinum group metals (PGM), iron ore, manganese, chrome, coal, copper, and a strategic ownership stake in Harmony Gold. The potential involvement in the Wafi-Golpu copper and gold project, co-owned by Harmony and Newcrest, highlights ARM's interest in expanding its portfolio, especially considering Harmony's search for financial partners to develop this significant resource with an estimated development cost of around R21bn. ARM's interest in acquiring "green metals" mines, which produce metals crucial for climate change mitigation efforts, aligns with global trends towards sustainable and responsible mining practices. This strategic direction not only diversifies ARM's portfolio but also positions the company at the forefront of the transition towards a greener economy. For the fiscal year ending 31st December 2023, ARM reported a 43% decline in headline earnings, alongside a net cash position of R7935m. The financial year saw a weakened average rand exchange rate against the US dollar and a 6% increase in export iron ore sales. However, ARM Platinum faced significant challenges, reporting a loss of R282 million, a stark contrast to the previous period's earnings, primarily due to depressed commodity prices and above-inflation unit cost increases. The share performance of ARM has been impacted by falling commodity prices since the beginning of 2023, indicating potential challenges ahead. However, the possibility of reaching a bottom suggests an opportunity for recovery and growth, especially given ARM's strategic focus on diversification and interest in base and green metals. ARM's potential involvement in projects like Wafi-Golpu, coupled with its focus on expanding into metals pivotal for environmental sustainability, underscores the company's adaptive strategy in a rapidly evolving global mining landscape. While investments in new ventures such as Wafi-Golpu present inherent risks and require a long-term commitment, ARM's diversified portfolio and strategic focus on essential and sustainable metals could provide a stabilizing factor for the company. Investors considering ARM as a potential addition to their portfolios should weigh the benefits of the company's diversification and strategic positioning against the risks associated with volatile commodity prices and significant capital investments in new projects. ARM's commitment to expanding its base and green metals portfolio, while risky, signals a forward-looking approach that could yield substantial rewards as global demand for sustainable and critical minerals continues to grow.by PDSnetSA1
Our opinion on the current state of ARIAfrican Rainbow Minerals (ARI), under the leadership of Patrice Motsepe, is a diversified mining company with interests spanning across a wide range of minerals including platinum group metals (PGM), iron ore, manganese, chrome, coal, and copper. Additionally, it holds a significant stake of 12.2% in Harmony Gold. The speculation around a possible acquisition, particularly with Harmony's Wafi-Golpu copper and gold resource, co-owned with Australian mining company Newcrest, highlights ARI's strategic positioning. Given Harmony's search for financial partners to cover the development costs estimated at around R21 billion for Wafi-Golpu, ARI could potentially play a key role in this venture, aligning with its interest in expanding into "green metals" that are pivotal in climate change mitigation efforts. For the fiscal year ending on 30th June 2023, ARI reported a 21% decrease in headline earnings per share (HEPS) and declared a final dividend of R12 per share. The company's performance was notably affected by logistical challenges that impacted the volumes of iron ore, manganese ore, and thermal coal. Additionally, the production costs have been under significant pressure due to reduced production volumes coupled with above-inflation increases in the costs of explosives, diesel, electricity, consumables, and maintenance. Looking ahead to the six months ending on 31st December 2023, ARI anticipates a substantial decline in HEPS, estimated to fall between 40% and 50%. This forecast is primarily attributed to a 43% decline in the average US dollar price of 6E platinum group metals (PGM) and lower thermal coal prices, reflecting the volatile nature of commodity markets and their impact on mining operations. The share price of ARI has been on a downward trend since the beginning of 2023, influenced by declining commodity prices. This trend underscores the inherent risks associated with the mining sector, particularly for companies like ARI that are exploring potential investments in new ventures such as Wafi-Golpu. While such investments could offer long-term benefits, especially in aligning with global efforts to combat climate change through the production of green metals, they also introduce significant financial commitments and risks. In conclusion, African Rainbow Minerals presents as a potentially strong player in the mining sector, benefiting from its diversified portfolio. However, the company's future performance and stock valuation may be influenced by its strategic decisions, including potential acquisitions and investments in new mining ventures. Investors considering ARI should be mindful of the risks associated with the volatile commodity market and the implications of the company's strategic investments on its financial stability and growth prospects.by PDSnetSA1
#ARI is African rainbow headed for further weakness?I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if we close below R169.00 on a closing basis I think African Rainbow could well trade much lower to a target of approximately R136.00. Not only is it currently losing a very important level of uptrend support but the R169.00 level has been an important pivot of resistance and support previously. Although the Head & Shoulder presented is a bit shady as the horizontal neckline is not at the same level, i do feel like a break of R169 will see the stock under pressure. Notice how it's lost its 200dma once again (green line).Shortby MarcoOlevano2

ARI ZA African Rainbow Minerals TAThis is my Technical Analysis on African Rainbow Minerals. ARI.ZA.JHB So anyone can do a Chart based on history. But based on that HISTORY we all can Learn to see key POINT's where there where possible clues as to how we should've considered our Trades / Investments. {Grammar here Graham?} The Chart I've shown is trying to predict {Impossible} entry points for the commodity using the Fibonacci principles of support or rejection. If you are a SUB 35 Year old Investor, you have nothing to worry about as you have DEAR TIME on your hand - possibly an Apple or Samsung Watch. "JOKE".
