The retailer said earlier it expected revenue growth of 3.2% in the year to end-June, higher than the Bloomberg consensus expectation of 2.2%. Excluding the effect of hyperinflation in Angola, turnover was up 3.6%.

Hammerson lost 7.88% to R41.29, extending Monday’s 6.25% slump. It said earlier that rental income from flagship UK properties fell 6.8% on a like-for-like basis in the six months to end-June.
