Conclusion
It is challenging to predict the demand pattern post lockdown as the economic downturn has been unprecedented. Moreover, the disrupted supply chain can increase the operating cost of the business. Meanwhile, Brexit is also imposing uncertainties around recruitment and retention of employees. Post lifting its earnings outlook for FY20 after last trading update, the stock has already soared substantially, which is giving an attractive opportunity to book profit now. Stock 52 week High and Low were GBX 425.00 and GBX 174.90, respectively.
Given the heightened level of uncertainties, we recommend a “Sell” stance on Pets at Home Group PLC at the current price of GBX 405.20 (as on 15 October 2020, before the market close at 9:10 AM GMT+1), while we look forward to reviewing the support from upcoming catalysts.

Conclusion
The ZAR against USD continues to be volatile with the Covid-19 impact, which can translate into significant financial impact. Moreover, its financial liabilities are sensitive to fluctuating interest rate movements while there is a liquidity risk after significant losses. Furthermore, Uitkomst production continues to be at risk with the pandemic. The hard-coking coal prices declined by 32% due to economic slowdown while the thermal coal prices declined 22% year-on-year in FY20, and it is likely to impact the cash flows in the short-term. Stock 52 week High and Low were GBX 31.50 and GBX 5.20, respectively.
Given the heightened level of uncertainties, we recommend a “Sell” stance on MC Mining Ltd at the current price of GBX 6.50 (as on 15 October 2020, before the market close at 10.05 AM GMT+1), while we look forward to reviewing the upcoming catalysts and reinvest at the right price for value investing.
