For the first time in years, Tencent's dividends to Naspers may come under pressure, which bodes ill for its efforts to diversify away from the Chinese tech giant.
It wasn’t the first time Naspers has issued a profit warning; its substantial investments in various e-commerce ventures, as well as the odd corporate restructuring, make it almost inevitable. But this is the first time Tencent has played a contributing role to an expected decline in core annual headline earnings.
