Some basic information about Naspers

Naspers is a global internet group and one the largest technology investors in the world. Naspers share price is quoted and traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Stock market ticker NPN.

Naspers is a popular traded stock in the South African region.

The rise and fall of Naspers share price

Like a lot of technology stocks, Naspers share price outperformed during the COVID-19 lockdown period with the stock reaching a high of 388800 in January 2021.  This was driven by consumers being locked down and craving digital first technology for entertainment.

So why the decline? Is this selloff a broad-based decline in technology stock or is Naspers share price taking the brunt of the fall?

A look from a technical perspective  

The MSCI World Information Technology Index tracks large and mid-cap technology companies’ performance from 23 developed markets (orange line). Although this broader technology index started its decline later, in October 2021, there is clear a correlation with Naspers share price. Technology stocks have seen a small period of increased value over the last few months.
