Established in South Africa in 1915, Naspers Limited is a media, internet and entertainment powerhouse with a footprint in more than 130 countries, and is one of the largest technology investors in the world today. The group’s principal operations are in e-commerce, video entertainment, print and online media.
Naspers shares have continuously been one of the JSE stocks, outperforming the all share index by almost 300%. Investors who decided to buy R 10 000 worth of Naspers shares in 2001, would be sitting on a return of more than R 1 million.
That is a fantastic record but a very large part of this performance is based on a really well timed purchase into the Chinese tech giant, Tencent. This presents a challenge for Naspers going forward because Tencent has plummeted in value on concerns that it can no longer keep scaling it's revenues. This is evident with the fall in Naspers share price. Naspers is also releasing MultiChoice in order to list as a separate entity under MultiChoice Group which may be adding to some serious uncertainty as this weakens their business diversity.
Let's look at the technicals
Weekly (pink): We can see that price has broken through a significant support trend line and there is a lot of supply in the market at this level, driving the price further. The break of the 38.2% Fib retracement level also indicates that the lower 50% retracement level is on the cards.
Daily (blue): This setup looks like a typical correction with the impulse on the left, the corrective structure and then the impulse on the right expected after 3 or 5 waves. I think it is quite possible that we will see the end of wave 3 on the 50% retracement level and will be looking for a reversal from there. We may also see a deeper correction so it is important to wait for the reversal to be confirmed before jumping into this one.
