Prosus, the Europe-based subsidiary of Naspers, achieved profitability across all three regional ecosystems in the year to end March 2026.
Prosus, the European internet business group and Naspers subsidiary, saw its profitability jump 84% in the year to March 31 after the implementation of its “ecosystem” strategy a year ago, which grew the business substantially.
The strong earnings growth appeared to hearten investors, and Prosus’ share price ratcheted up 3,6% on the JSE Monday morning to R724,54, while Naspers’ share price increased 4,2% to R833,05.
For Prosus it was a year of strong results, disciplined capital allocation, and accelerating AI innovation delivered across its AI-powered Lifestyle Ecosystem of delivery, finance, and experiences, with all regional ecosystems profitable. “Last year, our Ecosystem model was just a plan,” CEO Fabricio Bloisi said Monday in a presentation.
“Our businesses are increasingly interconnected, driving higher engagement, stronger cross-selling, and accelerating network effects. AI is embedded at every layer, from agents that run operations to life assistants that serve customers directly,” he said, outlining broadly how their Ecosystem model works.
