There aren't enough upsets in the National Football League, and that's upsetting for investors in sports betting companies including Flutter Entertainment, the owner of FanDuel.
Flutter, the now US-listed Paddy Power revealed it had lost US$390m million recently due to a run of “very unfavourable” sports results. Most of the losses came from bets on American Football, the FanDuel owner revealed in an announcement last night.
Flutter (FLUT) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
FLUT has demonstrated exceptional performance, driven by strong execution in its U.S. operations through FanDuel and steady growth across international markets.
Casino stock Flutter Entertainment PLC (NYSE:FLUT) is trading at new record highs after Goldman Sachs initiated coverage with a "buy" rating.
High-profile investors including Dan Loeb have flocked to Flutter Entertainment, the Irish gambling company that is the main owner of FanDuel and moved its primary listing to the U.S. in May.
Shares of Flutter Entertainment (FLUT) traded at an all-time high Wednesday as the parent of sports gambling site FanDuel beat revenue estimates and boosted its guidance as it benefited from demand for wagering on National Football League games.

FLUT has all the earmarks of the first blue-chip stock in the sports betting sector. No, it's not Coke, but it checks many boxes. Recent headwinds are diminished, with no others in sight. Its multi-brand skins are a sound business model for the future.
The online gambling industry has become a lucrative area for investors to invest their money in. This is so as it keeps growing.
FLUT's strong revenue growth, driven by FanDuel and expanding markets, positions it for continued top-line expansion, potentially reaching $20 billion by FY 2028. Operational improvements and margin expansion are expected to boost profitability, with operating margins projected to grow significantly, enhancing shareholder returns. Despite FLUT's breakeven status over the last twelve months, the company's future growth potential makes it an attractive investment.
Diamond Sports and FanDuel have reached a naming rights agreement for Diamond Sports' regional sports networks. The agreement will start with the 2024 NHL and NBA seasons and will be long-term, pending Diamond's emergence from bankruptcy, according to a bankruptcy court filing.
