Current thesis
The best constructive read is that Sasol has moved from pure balance-sheet repair to early operating stabilization: H1 FY26 delivered positive free cash flow for the first time in four years, while the April nine-month update raised fuel sales volume guidance and reduced capex. If July metrics confirm that fuels momentum and capital discipline are sticking, the stock could hold or modestly rerate from a low-expectations base.
