Discovery Financial Results 2025
Discovery delivered broad-based growth across the group:
Normalised profit increased 24% to R8.9 billion
Headline earnings rose 29% to R5.7 billion
New business grew 12% to R14.0 billion
Dividend declared up 28% to 111 cents per share

Even more encouraging is the quality of that growth. The average NAV per client continues to rise meaningfully year-on-year. And the Discovery community on EasyEquities remains younger than the broader investing market.
Higher balances and younger investors - that’s long-term participation expanding in real time.
Through our partnership, we’re making it simpler for Discovery clients to access the markets and build long-term wealth. Lowering barriers matters. When investing becomes easier and more transparent, more people participate. And when participation increases, wealth creation becomes more inclusive.
Discovery’s continued client growth, combined with strong financial performance and dividend expansion, creates a solid foundation for sustained investor confidence.
For me, this is what happens when two purpose-led businesses align around helping people grow and protect their wealth.
Discovery’s interim performance reflects structural innovation through the Shared-Value model, ongoing investment in data and AI, consistent earnings growth, and expanding client participation.
Those fundamentals matter. Strong profit growth. Rising dividends. Growing investor engagement. Increasing balances.
At EasyEquities, we value partnerships that create real impact - not just commercially, but in how they expand access and empower investors.
We’re proud of what we’ve built together, and I’m excited about continuing this growth journey and supporting the next generation of long-term investors in South Africa.
