Predicting a Rebound; Initiating at Outperform, $138 PT
Investment Overview
Flutter Entertainment is the world’s largest online sports betting (OSB) and iGaming operator with exposure to the
most attractive markets, led by FanDuel, the U.S. industry revenue share and profit leader, and funded by a mature,
high margin International segment spanning ~100 markets. Shares have lost ~50% of their value over the last six
months on a U.S. growth scare from prediction markets and recent share losses to other sportsbooks. However, we
believe current valuation levels are overweight bearish outcomes with current valuation implying a large disconnect
from consensus estimates and not adequately factoring in the upside opportunity from FLUT’s own prediction market
offering and likelihood for a 2H rebound in relative U.S. performance. At current valuation levels, we believe execution
on just one of these points will be enough to drive shares higher over the coming months.
