Prosus N.V. reported that its adjusted core profit nearly doubled in the first half of its fiscal year, marking a year-over-year increase of approximately 99%, reaching around $423 million.
Revenue growth was equally impressive, with the company achieving approximately $3.6 billion, up 22% compared to the same period last year.
A key factor behind these results is Prosus’ shift from a passive investment approach to actively operating its e-commerce assets. The company highlighted that its e-commerce ecosystem is accelerating in growth, benefiting from more integrated management, enhanced technology adoption, and strategic operational initiatives across its portfolio.
This strong performance underscores the potential for e-commerce platforms to generate substantial profit when companies move beyond mere investment into active operational oversight, leveraging synergies and ecosystem effects to scale more efficiently.
