Naspers Limited said it repurchased 1,121,078 ordinary shares between 6 July and 10 July 2026 at an average price of ZAR 861.1487 per share, for a total outlay of ZAR 965,414,856 (about US$59.1 million). The company also confirmed it is taking part in the market-wide Claim It campaign aimed at helping investors recover unpaid or unclaimed dividends.
The fresh round of buybacks reduces Naspers’s share count, signalling continued use of excess cash to return capital and potentially support earnings per share. Participation in Claim It points to a clean-up of shareholder records that could lower administrative overhangs and ensure future distributions reach investors more efficiently.
Attention now turns to the pace and size of further repurchases in coming weeks and any disclosures on dividends recovered through the Claim It initiative. Updates on aggregate buyback totals and progress in resolving unclaimed payouts will show how these measures affect Naspers’s capital structure and shareholder base.
The driving signal: Naspers repurchased 1.12m shares for ZAR965m (avg ZAR861.15) in Jul 6–10 and joined the national Claim It unclaimed-dividend recovery campaign. The next checkpoint is the next communication from JSE SENS on NPN, which should confirm whether momentum is building.
