Summary · why it matters

Naspers reported full-year 2026 revenue of $9.7 billion and a 44% increase in profitability to $1.3 billion, with all ecosystems in Latin America, Europe, and India now profitable. Core headline earnings per share rose 24%, and free cash flow excluding the Tencent dividend improved by $257 million, marking a $1.4 billion improvement over three years. The company has integrated hundreds of AI models powering more than 20 AI life assistants to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. However, intense competition in Brazil's food delivery sector is pressuring profitability expectations for fiscal 2027, requiring continued investment in iFood and Jet that may limit near-term EBITDA growth.
