Prosus N.V. stock (ISIN NL0013654783) is attracting investors as the company’s Brazilian food-delivery unit iFood unveiled a 24 billion reais investment plan for the fiscal year through March 2027 and Prosus continued its open-ended share buy-back program with EUR 63.8 million of share repurchases, both highlighted around September 16 and September 17, 2026.

Brazil iFood investment lifts growth expectations

Brazilian delivery app iFood, owned by Dutch investment group Prosus, said it will invest 24 billion reais, equivalent to about USD 4.66 billion, in Brazil in the fiscal year through March 2027, a 41 percent increase compared with its previous investment cycle, according to The Economic Times on September 17, 2026.

The announced 24 billion reais budget through March 2027 compares with the prior investment cycle’s level, and the 41 percent increase underlines Prosus’s push to deepen its exposure to Brazil’s fast-growing online delivery market, where iFood is one of the leading platforms.

For investors, the concrete number matters: a 41 percent higher investment budget typically signals stronger topline ambitions but also higher near-term cash requirements, making execution and unit economics in Brazil a key focus over the next fiscal year.

Prosus share buy-back supports valuation

Alongside the Brazil plan, Prosus continued its open-ended share repurchase program targeting ordinary shares in both Prosus and its parent Naspers, buying back shares from free-float shareholders in early September 2026.

Between September 7, 2026 and September 11, 2026, Prosus repurchased 1,771,604 of its own shares at an average price of EUR 35.99, for a total outlay of EUR 63.8 million, which is about USD 74.1 million, as reported by The Globe and Mail on September 16, 2026.

The buy-back volume of EUR 63.8 million over just five trading days gives an average daily repurchase of about EUR 12.8 million, illustrating the company’s commitment to capital returns within its open-ended program and potentially providing technical support for Prosus stock around the mid-30s euros price range.

Because the repurchased shares were acquired at an average price of EUR 35.99 and recent closing prices on Euronext Amsterdam have been in the mid-30s euros range, the buy-back effectively anchors Prosus’s valuation in that band, indicating that management regards levels near EUR 36 as attractive for reducing the free float.

Governance committees strengthened for FY27

Prosus is also adjusting its governance structure as it prepares for the FY27 financial year. The group reshaped the composition of its audit and risk committees following recommendations from its nominations committee, effective September 14, 2026.

Arnold Goldberg joined the risk committee and Pedro Arnt became a member of the audit committee as Prosus expanded the committees’ membership, retaining interim chairs Shar Dubey for the audit committee and Angelien Kemna for the risk committee, according to an announcement summarized by The Globe and Mail on September 16, 2026.

The broader and rebalanced committee structure is designed for the FY27 financial year and may help investors gain confidence in Prosus’s risk oversight, particularly as the company deploys the enlarged iFood investment budget in Brazil and continues sizable share buy-backs.

Stock trading around mid-30s euros on Euronext Amsterdam

Recent market data show Prosus N.V. trading on Euronext Amsterdam with its closing price in the mid-30s euros range on September 15, 2026, leaving the shares below some updated analyst targets but aligned with the pricing used in the company’s latest repurchases, as highlighted by an overview on Prosus stock dated September 16, 2026.

With the shares closing in the mid-30s euros range on Euronext Amsterdam as of September 15, 2026 and the buy-back executed at an average price of EUR 35.99 between September 7 and September 11, 2026, Prosus stock is currently trading close to the level at which the company itself is willing to commit EUR 63.8 million of capital to repurchases.
