Canal + loses R4-billion in market value after MultiChoice deal concerns 

# Groupe Canal-Plus has lost around four-billion-rand in market value since March, following investor concerns over its 52-billion-rand acquisition of MultiChoice. The media giant’s share price plunged by more than 32-percent after releasing its 2025 financial results, despite reporting a 28-percent increase in earnings. Analysts say intense competition from streaming platforms and sports broadcasters continues to weigh on growth prospects. Canal-Plus recently secured a Johannesburg Stock Exchange listing as part of the conditions attached to the Competition Commission approval of its takeover of MultiChoice.
