Prosus looks to continue to cut its stake in Tencent by 2-3% every year to fund its open-ended share buyback program.
Evidence would suggest that the buyback is set to continue at a relatively steady pace for the foreseeable future, which should support the discount to NAV going forward.
The simplification of the shareholding structure, to remove the cross-holding, could sustainably reduce Prosus’ discount to NAV by roughly 10%.
