The assassination this week of a labor lawyer working for Sibanye Stillwater Ltd. in downtown Johannesburg has prompted a protest from South Africa’s business fraternity. “Legal professionals, investigators, prosecutors and witnesses are increasingly exposed to intimidation and violence,” Business Against Crime South Africa, a grouping that works with the government, said in a statement on Wednesday. It is a tactic used “to shield criminal networks from accountability,” it said. Chinette Gallichan , an employee of South Africa’s biggest mining company by revenue, was shot dead on the street on Monday morning close to a state office that mediates labor matters. A spokesman for Sibanye told News24, a local news website, that she was in the city center to represent the company in a dispute with some of its employees. Her death follows the September killing of bankruptcy lawyer Bouwer van Niekerk in the boardroom of his firm in the city. That was the latest in a string of murders of insolvency practitioners, tax consultants and other professionals.

Neal Froneman , who retired as Sibanye’s chief executive officer last year, is Bacsa’s chairman. The Next Africa newsletter runs every weekday.

grinvalds/iStock via Getty Images Performance assessment Micron ( MU ) has massively outperformed the broader stock market index since my last update on the stock: Performance since HA's Last Article on MU (Seeking Alpha, HA's Last Article on MU) Elevator pitch thesis Here's how I'm looking at Micron now: Micron is seeing a demand bonanza and securing a better revenue quality profile Gross margins are at record levels, but it may not be sustainable High greenfield capex spending elevates the risk profile A contracted valuation multiple with massive earnings growth expectations is attractive The charts say hold on, but don't buy more now Micron is seeing a demand bonanza and securing a better revenue quality profile In the semiconductors industry, AI and traditional server demand are severely constrained by a lack of adequate DRAM and NAND supply. This has led spot DRAM and NAND market prices to increase 5.5x and nearly 4x over the last 6 months. This is leading to a massive demand and price-hike bonanza for Micron in its DRAM and NAND segments: DRAM Revenue (USD mn) (Company Filings, HA Analysis) NAND Revenue (USD mn) (Company Filings, HA Analysis) The chart below showing dwindling inventory levels clearly confirms the narrative of memory chip shortages: Inventory days on revenue (Company Filings, HA Analysis) Memory is becoming increasingly more essential as compute demand increases, giving Micron a wonderful long-term demand tailwind: As AI evolves, we expect compute architectures to become more memory intensive. This is why we strongly believe that Micron is one of the biggest beneficiaries and enablers of AI. AI hasn't just increased demand for memory, it has fundamentally recast memory as a defining strategic asset in the AI era. - CEO Sanjay Mehrotra in the Q2 FY26 earnings call The current memory market shortages are expected to grow bigger for the rest of this year, with pricing projections of a further 60% increase. This is leading to an explosion in revenu...

Monty Rakusen/DigitalVision via Getty Images Topline Summary and Update I have viewed Black Diamond Therapeutics ( BDTX ) with substantial optimism over the past several articles, with the most recent entry back in November heralding a nearly 50% decline in the stock price (at the time I write this) despite what I viewed as positive developments. In today's article, I want to digest the latest corporate update and continue making a case for optimism in BDTX stock. Pipeline Updates Silevertinib The lone pipeline candidate being developed by BDTX remains the EGFR inhibitor silevertinib, which has reached more advanced development in the setting of non-small cell lung cancer. I laid out the opportunities for this agent in previous articles , and I would encourage you to check those out. In short, silevertinib is an EGFR inhibitor in development specifically for C797S and non-classical EGFR mutations found in NSCLC, including so-called "PACC" mutations, that can drive resistance to currently approved EGFR inhibitors. This represents an important unmet need for the field, even as it has continued to move forward with novel combination regimens. What I have not written on at this point is the news from December outlining results for BDTX's ongoing phase 2 trial evaluating silevertinib in frontline, advanced, EGFR-mutant NSCLC. The following findings were highlighted: Objective response rate of 60% among 43 patients in the first-line setting, as well as an 86% CNS response rate in the 7 evaluable patients with CNS lesions 29 of 43 patients remained on therapy, including a few who continued treatment after progression Predictably, diarrhea and rash were common with silevertinib treatment, with grade 3 or higher occurring in 19% of patients for both of these adverse events An update focused on progression-free survival is guided for Q2 2026; this would place said update in the realm of the ASCO Annual Meeting. Based on the encouraging signal of activity in the CNS, BDTX is a...
