Winston Score History

The full picture

Prosus is a large technology investment company based in the Netherlands. It owns stakes in dozens of internet and tech businesses around the world, including a major shareholding in Tencent, the Chinese company behind WeChat and many popular video games. Prosus also directly operates businesses in online food delivery, education technology, payments, and classifieds advertising, serving consumers and small businesses across emerging markets.

Prosus makes money through a mix of dividends and returns from its investments, plus revenue from the businesses it runs directly. It operates across Europe, Latin America, India, Africa, and Southeast Asia, and is itself majority-owned by Naspers, a South African media group. The company's biggest asset by far is its Tencent stake, which is both its greatest strength and its main risk — any slowdown in Tencent's business or further Chinese regulatory pressure on the tech sector could significantly affect Prosus's overall value.
