Prosus is a large Dutch technology investment company that owns stakes in internet and technology businesses around the world. Its most valuable asset is a roughly 24% stake in Tencent, the Chinese tech giant behind WeChat and major video games. Prosus also owns or invests in online food delivery, classifieds, payments, and education technology companies across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

Prosus makes money mainly through dividends and asset sales from its portfolio companies, and some of its businesses generate direct revenue from transaction fees and subscriptions. It is listed in Amsterdam and is itself majority-owned by Naspers, a South African media group, making it part of a complex ownership chain. The company's biggest challenge is that its shares have historically traded at a large discount to the value of its Tencent stake alone, and its growth depends heavily on Tencent's performance and China's regulatory environment.
