MultiChoice service updates

MultiChoice, a major Pay-TV firm, updated its smartphone apps from “DStv” to “DStv Stream” a month ago. With this change, DStv now lets streaming-only users watch on up to two devices for a fraction of the cost of a standalone subscription.

The updated app’s “Extra Mobile Stream” option lets clients view material on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop besides their primary stream.

The company’s share price plummeted after JP Morgan Chase & Co. downgraded it. At 12:27 GMT, its shares were down 11.73% after plunging 12% early.

According to Reuters, the brokerage company changed the rating of MultiChoice shares from “neutral” to “underweight.” This shows an estimate of how the stock will do in the next six to twelve months compared to other stocks in its covered universe. This changed the share price. So, buyers should sell stock in the company.

For the year ending March 31, 2023, Multichoice Nigeria made N277 billion (ZAR9.1 billion) from subscriptions.

Last year, the company made N177.5 billion (ZAR7.1 billion) in sales, 29% more than this year. This made a big difference in Multichoice Group’s sales, which went up 7% to ZAR59.1 billion.

MultiChoice stock drops by 12% as JP Morgan lowers its rating

MultiChoice Group will launch Moment, a payment infrastructure platform for African businesses that will be the first of its kind. Rapyd and General Catalyst will invest in the project.

Moment wants to change the way payments are made in Africa by giving companies a faster, cheaper, and easier way to pay that meets the needs of both buyers and sellers.

A South African media company raised the Nigerian registration fees. The price went up on May 1, 2023.

Even though this isn’t just a Nigerian thing, the rate of subscriptions has grown by up to 16% compared to other African countries. MultiChoice says that Kenya and South Africa gave also grown. It made DStv subscriptions more expensive in Kenya by 5% and South Africa by between 3% and 10%.
