Biggest thing to watch: the price has already been rising for 46 weeks, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Sasol Limited share price today? Sasol Limited's share price was $16.00 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 46 weeks. That is 33.6% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $6 and $18, and at that close it sat 83% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 9 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved −40% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Sasol Limited pay? Sasol Limited declared ZAR 2.00 per local share for Dec 2023. It reports in South African rand, and one US-listed share can stand for several local shares, so we do not set this against the dollar price or show a yield. ## Which stock lists is Sasol Limited on? Sasol Limited is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Sasol Limited profitable? Sasol Limited earned ZAR 11.9 B of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +449.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ZAR 12.1 B. Over 5 years profit has grown 2.9% a year on average. That is 8.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ZAR 53.9 B. 3 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY26 profit was ZAR 12.1 B (+79.5% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +17.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved +5.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +100.9% and revenue −0.2%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. This company reports in South African rand, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (ZAR); nothing is converted. ## How much revenue does Sasol Limited make, and is it growing? Sasol Limited reported ZAR 150 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +17.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown 6.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ZAR 272 B. FY26 revenue was ZAR 272 B, +9.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −0.2% on average, against 6.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −7.7%, against +4.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over). This company reports in South African rand, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (ZAR); nothing is converted. ## How much of its sales does Sasol Limited keep? Sasol Limited's operating margin was 23.1% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 5.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 years it has been between 7.8% and 18.5%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +4.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.4 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Sasol Limited's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 433% of Sasol Limited's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ZAR 32.5 B of operating cash against ZAR 12.1 B of profit. After ZAR 20.8 B of spending on assets, ZAR 11.7 B was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. This company reports in South African rand, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (ZAR); nothing is converted. ## Where does Sasol Limited's cash go? Sasol Limited does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent ZAR 76.2 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 9.3% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: ZAR 76.2 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. This company reports in South African rand, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (ZAR); nothing is converted. ## What is Sasol Limited's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Sasol Limited's P/E is 14.2×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Sasol Limited business getting better or worse? Sasol Limited's business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −67.2% at its low to +449.5%, improving for 3 quarters in a row (from single-quarter figures), with ROCE steady at 28.9%. This is based on 12 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Sasol Limited earn on its capital? Sasol Limited earned a ROE of 7% in FY26. That is up from a low of −30% in FY24. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 11.1 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 4.5% net margin and 0.75× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 4.5% net margin × 0.75× asset turnover × 2.14× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 7.2% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 15.4% − 4.3% = +11.1 percentage points. The 4.3% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. ## Does Sasol Limited have too much debt? Sasol Limited has total debt of ZAR 111 B against shareholder equity of ZAR 170 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.65× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.78 in FY21 to 0.65 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. This company reports in South African rand, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (ZAR); nothing is converted. ## What is the Sasol Limited shareholding pattern? We have no ownership or short-position figures for Sasol Limited, so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.5 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. ## How far is Sasol Limited from balance-sheet trouble? For Sasol Limited, the Z-score is 2.06. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.06 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Sasol Limited rank in its industry?

The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Sasol Limited compared with?
