Prosus NV anticipates a substantial surge in its core headline earnings for the fiscal year that concluded on March 31, 2026. The company, a prominent investor in internet businesses, projects an increase of between 19% and 28% in core headline earnings per share from continuing operations. This growth is primarily attributed to strong performance across its e-commerce segments and an appreciating stake in China's Tencent Holdings Ltd.
Adding to its positive financial outlook, Prosus announced that it has successfully transitioned from a traditional holding company to an active operator of AI-driven lifestyle ecosystems. A significant milestone achieved during this period is that all of its ecosystems, spanning Latin America, Europe, and India, are now profitable. The company also reported generating over $7.3 billion in revenue and $1.1 billion in Ecosystem (formerly Ecommerce) adjusted EBITDA for the year.
The company highlighted that core headline earnings outpaced headline earnings. This is because the core measure excludes fair value investment losses recognized within Tencent's earnings, providing a clearer picture of operational performance. While headline earnings per ordinary share are projected to rise between 6.7% and 15.7%, overall earnings per ordinary share for continuing operations are expected to range from a decrease of 2.6% to an increase of 6.4%. This broader earnings measure was impacted by a lower gain from selling Tencent shares and increased unrealized foreign currency losses on the translation of euro-denominated bonds to the company's US dollar reporting currency.
