Sasol Limited, a South African petrochemicals company, has faced financial challenges recently. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, the company reported a 66% decline in full-year profit, primarily due to weaker chemical prices, leading to a basic loss per share of 69.94 rand, compared to earnings of 14 rand per share the previous year.
This downturn was exacerbated by a $3 billion writedown in the value of its chemicals and fuel assets, with significant impairments in its American chemicals unit. Consequently, Sasol decided to skip the final dividend for the year.
