With the petrol price increasing, tax increased this year results on a lot of financial pressure on the south african consumer leaving consumers with a lower disposable income. In time of lower disposable income it is natural in an economic sense that there would be an increase on credit purchases from consumers.
With this being said. I think TFG is best positioned for a long on retailers as they reported 7% increase in credit sales together with a decrease in irrevocable debt. This gives me an indication that TFG does collect most debt and they do it quite fast as they have the highest interests rate on debitors with 19%. This is a risk management strategy they use to collect debt as soon as possible from debitors. The faster they collect debt the stornger the balance sheet and the stronger the share price should be theoretically.

Therefore, I remain bullish on the stock.

Here is what I plan to do:

Buy: 174-176

TP: 190

SL: 169
