On September 28, Flutter Entertainment PLC fell 5.1% in regular trading, trading at $79.03/share with turnover of $23.41 million, marking a fresh 52-week low as selling pressure intensified.
On the news front, the stock continues to face headwinds after Rothschild & Co Redburn downgraded Flutter from Buy to Neutral and slashed its price target from $169 to $119. The downgrade triggered an initial 2.6% decline on September 22, followed by a further 5.3% drop on September 24 as sector-wide weakness amplified losses. The broader Casinos & Gaming sector remains under significant pressure, with DraftKings down 3.11%, MGM Resorts down 0.25%, and Wynn down 0.31% during the same session.
Fundamental concerns also weigh on the stock. Flutter reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.49, missing the consensus estimate of $0.60 by over 18%, while lowering its full-year revenue guidance to $17.44–$18.39 billion from $17.66–$18.96 billion previously. Additionally, the company is undergoing a CEO transition, with Dan Taylor set to replace Peter Jackson effective October 1.
