Sports betting stock Flutter Entertainment PLC (NYSE:FLUT) is falling sharply today, last seen down 8.8% at $213.87, after mixed third-quarter results.
Flutter Entertainment plc is entering the prediction market with FanDuel Predicts, competing with Kalshi and Polymarket and increasing the brand's market access. Flutter's iGaming performance remained very strong in Q3, led by market share gains in the U.S. and strong growth internationally. FanDuel's sports betting market share saw pressure from tightening competition, and adverse NFL results further pressured earnings. Flutter has responded by increasing investments in Q4.
The lower full-year outlook reflects a step-up in investment in sports and prediction markets, a tax cost relating to the Illinois wager fee, and changes to regulations in India.
