Prosus names AI chiefs. Prosus stock costs EUR 35.78 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026, versus a EUR 35.75 prior close. As Prosus announced on September 22, 2026, Euro Beinat became chief AI officer, Paul van der Boor became chief technology officer and Nalden joined as chief product officer.

AI leadership gets defined roles

The appointments give Prosus separate executives for research, technology infrastructure and product development. The company said the team will turn its intelligence layer into products for customers, partners and small and medium-sized businesses across its ecosystem.

The intelligence layer is built on commerce behavior from one billion customers, according to Prosus. That scale gives the new structure a defined commercial test: AI tools must improve products or economics across businesses such as iFood, OLX and PayU.

FY26 figures set the benchmark

The operating backdrop is quantified. According to Yahoo Finance on September 22, 2026, ecosystem revenue increased 57.00 percent to USD 9.7 billion in fiscal 2026, while adjusted EBITDA rose 84.00 percent to USD 1.3 billion. Free cash flow reached USD 1.5 billion in the same fiscal year.

Those figures matter because they provide a measurable baseline for the AI rollout. Revenue growth already outpaced adjusted EBITDA growth in percentage terms, while the new leaders must show that technology investment can translate into further revenue, margin or cash-flow gains.

Buyback supports the capital story

Prosus also repurchased 2,155,408 shares between September 14 and September 18, 2026, at an average EUR 35.7748 per share for a total consideration of EUR 77.1 million, according to Prosus on September 22, 2026. The buyback price was close to the Lang & Schwarz reference price, linking the capital-return program with the market level.

Analyst expectations remain higher than the current euro quote. MarketScreener reported on September 10, 2026, that Jefferies kept its Buy rating while reducing its target from EUR 66.50 to EUR 55.90. At EUR 35.78, the target lies 56.23 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price.
