Stars
iFood Brazil Leadership
iFood holds ~60% GMV share in Brazil’s food-delivery market (2024), a segment growing ~18% CAGR (2021–24); as a Star, it drives Prosus’s regional operational value, delivering ~BRL 3.2bn GMV-adjusted contribution in 2024.
Maintaining leadership needs heavy reinvestment—Prosus spent ~BRL 1.1bn on iFood logistics and quick-commerce in 2024—to fend off Rappi and Uber Eats’ aggressive expansion.
As unit economics improve and urban penetration nears 55%, iFood is poised to shift toward Cash Cow by 2027–2028, converting scale into sustained free cash flow.
Swiggy Indian Market Expansion
Prosus holds a ~28% stake in Swiggy, a leader in India’s $50–60B online food and quick commerce market as of 2024, benefiting from 40%+ CAGR in urban digital adoption and rising convenience demand.
Swiggy spends heavily to scale hyper-local delivery—estimated cash burn >$300M in 2023—but its #1 market share in food delivery and expanding quick commerce footprint make it a Star for Prosus.
Quick commerce success—targeting same-day grocery and convenience GMV growth to 3x by 2026—is key to sustaining unit economics improvement and preserving Prosus’s upside.
PayU India Fintech Dominance
PayU India anchors Prosus’s fintech Stars quadrant in one of the world’s fastest-growing digital payments markets, holding an estimated 25–30% merchant market share as of FY2024 and processing ~₹350 billion GMV in 2024.
It keeps innovating in credit and financial services—launched BNPL and merchant loans that drove 40% YoY payments revenue growth in FY2024—while heavy capex supports product and risk tech upgrades.
Prosus funds high investment to manage RBI regulatory shifts and cloud/AI platform migrations; PayU is a high-growth engine balancing leadership with aggressive scale targets to reach profitability.
OLX Europe Classifieds
OLX Europe Classifieds, leading in Poland and Romania, shows double-digit GMV growth in motors and real estate with 2024 revenue ~€420m and EBITDA margin ~28%, fueled by digital trade migration and #1 market positions.
High digital-service penetration keeps them Stars in the BCG matrix despite positive cashflow; annual user growth ~12% and paid-listings up 18% keep growth rates elevated.
AI personalization investments (2024 capex ~€35m) lift conversion by ~9% and sustain competitive moat.
- 2024 revenue ~€420m; EBITDA ~28%
- User growth ~12% YoY; paid listings +18%
- AI capex ~€35m; conversion +9%
Delivery Hero Global Presence
Prosus remains a major shareholder in Delivery Hero, the Berlin-based food-delivery leader with operations across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific; Delivery Hero reported €7.7bn gross merchandise value (GMV) and €6.4bn revenue in FY2024, reflecting rapid expansion in high-growth continents.
Classified as a BCG Matrix star, Delivery Hero holds top market positions in multiple countries but faces fierce competition and high capex/marketing needs; it needs ongoing strategic support to reach sustainable profitability while driving market share.
Delivery Hero’s margin trajectory and growth materially affect Prosus’s e-commerce valuation—Delivery Hero accounted for roughly 18% of Prosus’s asset value at end-2024—so its performance is pivotal for Prosus’s portfolio returns.
- GMV €7.7bn (FY2024)
- Revenue €6.4bn (FY2024)
- ~18% of Prosus asset value (end-2024)
- High capex and marketing intensity
- Star: needs support to reach long-term profitability
Prosus portfolio power: iFood, Swiggy, PayU India & Delivery Hero fuel 2024 growth
Prosus Stars: iFood (BRL 3.2bn GMV-adjusted contrib 2024; ~60% Brazil GMV; BRL 1.1bn capex 2024), Swiggy (~28% stake; India food market $50–60bn 2024; >$300M burn 2023), PayU India (₹350bn GMV 2024; 25–30% merchant share; payments rev +40% FY2024), Delivery Hero (GMV €7.7bn; rev €6.4bn FY2024; ~18% Prosus value end-2024).

Cash Cows
Tencent Strategic Investment
Prosus’s massive 28.9% economic interest in Tencent (stake valued ~US$130bn at Tencent market cap ~US$450bn, Dec 31 2025) is the group’s ultimate cash cow, delivering steady dividends and benefiting from Tencent’s regular buybacks.
Tencent dominates mature Chinese gaming and social media, with FY2024 adjusted operating margins near 30% and core revenue >RMB600bn, fueling high free cash flow.
Proceeds from Tencent fund Prosus’s food-delivery, fintech and edtech bets—cash reserves and liquid assets were ~US$40bn at end-2025—anchoring group stability and value.
OLX Poland Mature Operations
OLX Poland has reached market maturity in classifieds, holding roughly 60–70% market share as of 2025 and a clear lead over rivals.
The unit delivers high EBITDA margins near 40% and predictable free cash flow, with modest marketing spend below 5% of revenue.
It reliably funds higher‑risk Prosus bets, covering internal investments and supporting product launches while the focus remains on squeezing operational efficiency and milking steady returns.
PayU Global Payment Operations
PayU Global Payment Operations generates steady cash flows from mature markets, delivering predictable mid-single-digit revenue growth and operating margins above 20% in 2024, supporting Prosus’s central costs.
These units need far less capital than emerging-market fintech bets—capex as share of revenue ~2–3%—and their high market shares (30–60% in select niches like Central & Eastern Europe) create a defensive moat.
eMAG Eastern Europe
eMAG Eastern Europe, Prosus’s cash cow, dominates e‑commerce in Romania and Hungary with ~40–50% market share and >€1.2bn GMV in 2024, yielding steady adjusted EBITDA margins ~6–9% thanks to a calmer regional competitive set versus global peers.
Its mature model generates surplus cash used for reallocating to high-growth Prosus bets; the near-term playbook is incremental product, logistics improvements and steady dividends to the parent.
- Market share ~40–50%
- 2024 GMV ≈ €1.2bn
- Adj. EBITDA margin 6–9%
- Focus: margin, dividends, incremental ops gains
Property24 Real Estate Portal
Property24, Prosus’s leading real-estate classifieds portal in South Africa, commands roughly 40%+ market share in online listings and delivered about ZAR 1.2 billion in revenue for its region in FY2024, reflecting high penetration and stable demand.
Its low capital intensity and efficient platform ops mean reinvestment needs under 10% of revenue, making it a textbook cash cow with steady recurring margins near 60% EBITDA.
That predictable cash flow supports Prosus’s group-level cash generation and funds higher-growth bets across its portfolio.
- Market share ~40%+
Prosus’s cash engines: Tencent stake + high-margin OLX, PayU, eMAG, Property24
Prosus’s cash cows: Tencent stake (~28.9%, value ~US$130bn at Tencent market cap ~US$450bn, Dec 31 2025) plus OLX Poland (60–70% share, EBITDA ~40%), PayU (margins >20%, capex 2–3%), eMAG (GMV €1.2bn 2024, EBITDA 6–9%), Property24 (40%+ share, ~60% EBITDA) — steady cash funds growth bets.
| Asset | Key metric | 2024/25 |
|---|---|---|
| Tencent | Value / stake | ~US$130bn / 28.9% |
| OLX Poland | Share / EBITDA | 60–70% / ~40% |
| PayU | Margins / capex | >20% / 2–3% |
| eMAG | GMV / EBITDA | €1.2bn / 6–9% |
