Exchanges

The 2 venues behind the company count, and how the 277 names divide between them.

A company is counted once, on its primary listing. Secondary listings and depositary receipts resolve to the same entity, so a name never appears twice in a universe you paste.

What arrives

The last twelve months of this market split by bundle — the top level of the document taxonomy behind every classification we assign.

Shares are of the market’s 5,386 documents, and add up to slightly more than 100%: a document can carry several classifications that roll up to different bundles, and it is counted once in each.

T+3 is the median. Here is the spread.

A median hides the tail, and the tail is what breaks a workflow. This is every document collected in South Africa over the last 30 days, placed in the band it actually landed in.

Measured over 30 days rather than twelve months on purpose: a backfill of historical documents carries old publication dates and recent ingest dates, which would show up here as months of delay that the live pipeline does not have.

Month by month. Twelve months to October 2026.

Volume is not flat across a reporting year, and capacity planned against an annual average is planned against a month that never happens.
