DStv’s new owner to reveal its game plan

Canal+ is set to release its full-year 2025 financial results on Wednesday, the first to include MultiChoice Group following its acquisition of Africa's largest pay-TV operator. Key focus areas include Canal+'s Africa strategy, progress toward €400-million in cost synergies by 2030, and whether subscriber losses at DStv are slowing. The results follow MultiChoice's shutdown of Showmax, which had accumulated trading losses of ~R4.9-billion in the year ended March 2025. MultiChoice CEO David Mignot has signaled a shift in strategy, including scrapping the traditional annual DStv price hike to prioritize subscriber growth. The combined Canal+/MultiChoice entity now claims over 40 million subscribers across ~70 countries, with a long-term target of 50–100 million.
