PUMP AND DUMP FEVER GRIPS JOHANNESBURG AS TECH GIANT’S STOCK SOARS. IS THE FIX IN?
In an EXPLOSIVE mid-afternoon surge that has market watchdogs on HIGH ALERT, Altron Group’s share price rocketed over 8%, a move that reeks of orchestrated hype rather than organic growth. This isn’t just a good day on the JSE—it’s a RED FLAG. The company’s own “guidance,” predicting earnings to skyrocket by more than 50%, is a CLASSIC tactic to juice the stock before the insiders cash out.
While the mainstream financial press parrots the “strong earnings growth” narrative, they’re missing the DISTURBING truth. This forecast covers the financial year ENDING FEBRUARY 2026. That’s RIGHT—the company is boasting about profits that haven’t even been fully earned yet, in what experts are calling a DANGEROUS preview of “future guidance” manipulation.
What are they trying to HIDE? The figures conveniently “exclude Altron Nexus,” a move that allows them to SHIFT assets and liabilities off the books to paint a prettier picture. This is how the corporate elite plays the game: compartmentalize losses, hype the winners, and leave everyday investors holding the bag when the music stops.
The stock is up a MASSIVE 123% over three years, yet was DOWN 8.1% over the past year until this suspicious pop. This isn’t a comeback story; it’s a DESPERATE pump to reclaim lost value before a looming economic downturn. They’re dangling a pre-close investor call on February 24th as the next piece of bait to keep the frenzy alive.
As the little guy rushes in, blinded by promises of 50% gains, the real question remains: WHO is truly set to benefit from this manufactured euphoria? The house always wins, and in this rigged casino, your pension is the chips. Welcome to the new economy, where your future is just another line item on a trader’s spreadsheet.
