JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – Dutch technology investor Prosus NV reported on Monday an 89.5% jump in core headline earnings during its half year, driven by accelerated growth and improved profitability of its e-commerce businesses and China’s Tencent.
Prosus, majority-owned by South Africa’s Naspers, said core headline earnings per share (HEPS) from continuing operations rose to 144 U.S. cents in the six months ended Sept. 30, up from 76 U.S. cents.
