- British American Tobacco is reducing its 47,000-strong global workforce by about one-fifth as part of its sweeping plan to bring down costs and simplify operations.
- Prosus said profit more than doubled in the last fiscal year, beating analysts’ estimates as growth in the tech investment company’s e-commerce businesses and an increase in the value of the stake it owns in China’s Tencent boosted earnings.
