FLUT Flutter Entertainment plc
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Flutter's Q1 2026 revenue grew 17% YoY to $4.304B, with GAAP EPS of $1.23 beating the $0.87 consensus by 41%. However, net income fell 38% YoY and full-year 2026 guidance was lowered: adjusted EBITDA midpoint reduced from $2.97B to $2.865B, reflecting unfavorable sports results and increased investment in prediction markets. The stock will likely be pulled between the massive EPS beat and the guidance cut, with the latter likely dominating sentiment.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The significant EPS beat vs Street consensus ($1.23 vs $0.87) is overshadowed by the guidance cut for 2026 adjusted EBITDA from $2.97bn to $2.865bn. Traders should focus on the sustainability of US sportsbook recovery and the impact of prediction market investment on near-term profitability.
