Stephen Grootes speaks to Finance Ghost, a retail analyst, unpacking how Spar Group lost its footing relative to peers; with a bungled SAP rollout, rising costs, and operational missteps eroding investor confidence and triggering a sharp sell-off in the stock. As the group embarks on a restructuring that could see job cuts to reset its cost base, we look at why the market has punished Spar so heavily, how its recent performance stacks up against competitors, and what new CEO Reeza Isaacs must do to stabilise margins, rebuild trust, and return the business to sustainable growth.
