Cement producer PPC’s shares slumped more than a fifth in early trade on Thursday after the company said interim earnings could fall more than 80% because of low demand for its products in SA and shortage of foreign currency in Zimbabwe.
The company’s disappointing performance comes amid a surge in imports, lack of infrastructure investment, mooted price increases in Southern Africa and weak consumer demand. PPC owns 70% of PPC Zimbabwe, which includes a clinker manufacturing operation at Collen Bawn and two milling plans in Bulawayo.
