- Prosus confirmed its full-year guidance after strong digital-services and e-commerce performance.
- Portfolio execution and capital allocation remain central as the group shifts toward an operating model.
- Management plans further acquisitions across Europe, Latin America and India.
On Monday, November 9, Prosus reported a 99% increase in adjusted half-year core profit to 423 million US dollars from 213 million US dollars a year earlier. The figures were reported by The Economic Times, citing Reuters.
Revenue increased 22% to 3.6 billion US dollars, with iFood and OLX identified as key contributors. Prosus also confirmed its full-year guidance, giving investors a fresh reference point ahead of the group's next reporting milestones.
Operating shift raises execution stakes
Prosus is moving from a largely passive investment approach toward more direct management of its e-commerce portfolio. The group is integrating its 4.1 billion euro acquisition of Just Eat Takeaway and has continued to pursue transactions across Europe, Latin America and India.
Capital allocation remains a central part of the investment case. Prosus generated 1.2 billion US dollars from divestitures in the first half and expects proceeds to reach 2 billion US dollars by the end of the fiscal year. The group also reported 18.3 billion US dollars in cash reserves and a further 2.5 billion US dollars available under an unused credit line.
Portfolio growth meets valuation discipline
Management said it remains focused on divesting non-strategic businesses and directing capital toward its ecosystem strategy. Prosus invested more than 100 million US dollars in the first half to develop agentic artificial-intelligence models for its platforms.
For investors, the stronger operating result improves the earnings backdrop, while the shift toward acquisitions and active portfolio management increases the importance of execution. The investment case remains linked to both operating performance and the valuation of listed and private holdings.
