Here is how Prosus N.V. Sponsored ADR (PROSY) and Tractor Supply (TSCO) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
Tech investor Prosus NV said it has written off the fair value of its 9.6% stake in Indian edtech firm Byju's during the financial year 2024, making the Dutch firm the first to fully write-off its investment in the troubled startup. Prosus cites the write off to "the significant decrease in value for equity investors". Earlier this year, a group of shareholders in the company, including Prosus, called to oust the company's founders and force a change of leadership, quoting concern about the "future stability" of the company.
Its core headline earnings were $5.0 billion, compared with $2.7 billion a year earlier, the company said. "Our e-commerce portfolio is profitable for the first time ever, and our ongoing buyback has created significant shareholder value," said the company's interim CEO Ervin Tu in a statement. The company recently appointed the head of its food delivery business iFood as its new CEO effective from July.
