IGT's Q1 FY 2025 double-miss and lowered guidance have narrowed upside, but the stock remains undervalued versus peers. Lottery tailwinds, strong iLottery growth, and disciplined debt management support ongoing free cash flow and capital returns. I'm reducing my price target from $25 to $21.50–$22, reflecting a more cautious outlook but still projecting a 27–30% upside.

The company's lottery management model guarantees long-term contracts, providing stability and consistent cash flow, positioning it as a market leader. Despite a slight decline in overall sales, lottery revenues remain strong, with growth in iLottery and international markets, particularly Italy.
