Prosus (ISIN NL0013654783) spent EUR 82.77 million on a fresh share repurchase, while its stock traded at EUR 33.52 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026 at 9:07 a.m. CEST, down 3.07 percent versus the Xetra close of October 21, 2026 at EUR 34.58. The latest buyback update, published on October 20, covered 2,303,676 Prosus shares bought at an average EUR 35.9303 per share, according to Prosus.
Buyback reaches EUR 82.77 million
The latest transaction extends a steady capital-return program rather than marking a one-off purchase. Prosus bought the shares between October 12 and October 16, and the average purchase price was EUR 35.9303, which stood EUR 2.41 above the Lang & Schwarz price at the time of this article.
The preceding update was larger by share count but slightly more expensive in total: Prosus repurchased 2,361,582 shares for EUR 83.51 million between October 5 and October 9. That comparison puts the latest purchase 57,906 shares lower and EUR 0.74 million lower in cash outlay, based on the two company releases.
What does the buyback change?
The reduction in outstanding shares can support per-share measures, but the market is still pricing the portfolio and its execution risks. On October 19, Markets Insider reported that JPMorgan cut its Prosus target from EUR 73 to EUR 71 while keeping an Overweight rating.
Prosus also presented an operating signal on October 8. Its food-delivery update said Just Eat Takeaway.com orders returned to year-over-year growth after 55 months of decline, while iFood held around 80 percent of the Brazilian app market, according to Prosus.
Three buyback dates show the pace
On October 6, 2026, Prosus reported 2,239,784 repurchased shares for EUR 79.84 million; on October 13, it reported 2,361,582 shares for EUR 83.51 million; on October 20, it reported 2,303,676 shares for EUR 82.77 million. The three updates show repeated execution across consecutive reporting periods, with each figure disclosed by Prosus, Prosus and Prosus.
What comes next?
Prosus has two dated investor touchpoints ahead. IT Boltwise reported on October 17 that the company planned an OLX Deep Dive and Claim AI event for October 26 and October 27, while TradingView listed November 25, 2026 as the next earnings date for Prosus. Those dates could give investors a further read on portfolio execution and the timing of interim results.
Stock faces a sharper test
The 3.07 percent decline versus the Xetra close puts the latest buyback against a weaker daily market signal. The combination of repeated repurchases, operational progress at food delivery businesses and the lower JPMorgan target leaves execution and valuation as the central points for the next update.
Prosus stock was trading at EUR 33.52 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026 at 9:07 a.m. CEST, 3.07 percent below the Xetra close of October 21, 2026 at EUR 34.58. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Prosus stock.
