Prosus - Simplifying structure amidst struggling ecommerce portfolio

Proposed removal of cross-holding structure to continue open-ended buybackEarnings within pre-announced rangeProfitability remains a key concern. We estimate today's NAV at EUR 98.2 p/s. The current discount of 36% is significantly lower than the record 60% we saw earlier in 2022. However, we believe the lower discount to be the result of the huge share buyback program that the firm is executing rather than an increased investor appreciation. Our target discount moves to 30% vs. 24% before. We continue to believe IRR outside of Tencent is not adequate for the segment. Hence, Hold and TP of EUR 72 is reiterated.
