Moneyweb Holdings is a combined media company with a main focus on creating and producing self-governing investment and stocks information online, as well as information for investors to buy and sell shares. Moneyweb shares were first listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in 1998, and the company today receives around 460 000 unique visitors to its website each month, with the Moneyweb Today digital newspaper reaching 100 000 people daily. Combined with audiences on Mineweb.com and through weekly radio broadcasts, Moneyweb reaches a total of around 750 000 people per month.

The group consists of six industry communities, namely Mineweb, Tradingweb, Marketingweb, MyOwnBusiness and CFOweb, as well as weekly newspaper Moneyweb Digest.

Moneyweb shares are currently for sale on the AltX of the JSE with a market cap of R27 million. The live online stocks chart shows that Moneyweb share price has however suffered due to increased competition and difficult conditions within the media trade.

Moneyweb generates most of its revenue through advertising and subscriptions, but performance has suffered due to unprecedented levels of volatility within the South African media industry. South African digital media players such as Moneyweb have struggled to effectively monetise their offerings whilst competing with giants such as Google, Facebook and LinkedIn. In response, Moneyweb began to buy into new initiatives in 2014 to diversify its portfolio away from low-cost banner advertising revenue, introducing specialist events, video productions, investment showcases for JSE-listed companies and radio, event-based and digital campaigns.

The company’s financial data for 2015 was impacted by a weak advertising environment, legal costs associated with a dispute with Media24, and capitalinvested in several new digital properties. Sales declined drastically in the second half of the year due to the increased economic pressure on advertisers. These factors resulted in Moneyweb reporting a R4 million operating loss for the year.

The group is targeting a return to profitability by securing revenue streams and capitalising on investments in employees and freelance services, which were specifically implemented to position the company for the future. Revenues aim to be generated from providing advertisers with unique opportunities across Moneyweb’s media platforms, incorporating experiential event activations.

Moneyweb is a small-cap company in a difficult and oversaturated media environment, and investors won’t feel confident to buy Moneyweb shares, particularly as the business has suffered losses recently and has been unable to pay dividends. The group does however have a relatively strong cash position, but more heavy losses are forecast in the future. Whilst Moneyweb is a premium resource for information on stocks, its own shares are not a good buy at present. Moneyweb share price has dipped from highs of around 75 cents in 2012, to just 25 cents in 2016, and may well decline further in the months to come.
