Today in Ghost Biz, Gary Stroebel and The Finance Ghost discuss:

• Spar — still struggling through a messy turnaround as franchise challenges, weak omni-channel execution, and costly international exits weigh on earnings.
• Prosus — solid revenue and e-commerce profit growth, improved free cash flow outside Tencent, and big expectations on recent acquisitions to prove their value in 2026.
