Prosus (NL0013654783) reported a sharp improvement in profitability for fiscal year 2026. The Amsterdam-listed technology investor disclosed an 84 percent leap in adjusted core profit and a materially higher dividend, as reported by Reuters and Investing.com.

What the FY26 figures show

According to Reuters, adjusted EBITDA across Prosus's digital services and e-commerce portfolio rose 84 percent to about $1.3 billion (roughly €1.14 billion), on revenue up 57 percent to $9.7 billion for FY26. A Business Wire release framed FY26 as a year of delivery, highlighting strong results and disciplined capital allocation.

Channel NewsAsia reports that Prosus posted record free cash flow of $1.5 billion, up from $1 billion in the prior year, underscoring improved cash generation. Core headline earnings rose 13 percent to $8.3 billion, with core headline earnings per share increasing 24 percent, according to Investing.com.

Profitability across all regions

Reuters notes that Prosus's consumer platforms were profitable across all regions for the first time, marking a clear operational milestone. Investing.com adds that all of its regional ecosystems turned profitable, reflecting stronger unit economics in Latin America, Europe and India.

In Latin America, food delivery platform iFood grew adjusted EBITDA by 178 percent to $400 million, supported by 50 percent revenue growth, according to Channel NewsAsia and Investing.com. European online marketplace OLX delivered 61 percent profit growth on an 18 percent revenue rise, with adjusted EBITDA reaching $481 million.

Dividend increase and $5 billion buyback

Channel NewsAsia reports that Prosus raised its full-year dividend by about 40 percent to 28 euro cents per share, benefiting ordinary shareholders. Investing.com highlights that the proposed dividend represents a roughly 40 percent increase for free-float shareholders and comes alongside an AGM scheduled for August 26, 2026.

The Wall Street Journal writes that Prosus plans around $5 billion in share repurchases over the next year, aiming to use profits from its stake in Tencent Holdings and other assets to drive shareholder returns. This buyback program adds another capital-return layer on top of the higher dividend.

Analyst and market reaction to the shares

Bloomberg notes that Prosus's profit more than doubled in the last fiscal year, beating the average analyst forecast for adjusted EBITDA, which was around $947 million. The reported figure of $1.05 billion in adjusted EBITDA in that coverage signals a clear beat versus consensus expectations.

Investing.com reports that Prosus shares rose about 3.2 percent to trade near €38.69 on Euronext Amsterdam after the results, with intraday levels around €38.90, compared with a prior close of €37.48 and a recent 52-week low of €36.91. This reaction reflects investor approval of the profitability milestone and capital-return plans.
