Flutter Sees $20M EBITDA Hit From Brazil Betting Ban
FLUT is trading near its 52-week low of $78.898 (6.1% above the low).
Summary
Flutter expects a $20 million reduction in 2026 adjusted EBITDA and a $70 million revenue impact after ceasing Brazilian sports betting and iGaming operations due to a government ban. The company, alongside Entain, is taking stock of Brazil's online-betting ban and is currently assessing associated non-cash accounting impacts. This financial guidance, detailed in an 8-K filing, follows the operational exit from Brazil. While the ban removes a growth market and pressures near-term earnings, the $20 million EBITDA hit is considered modest relative to Flutter's overall scale.
At the time of this announcement, FLUT was trading at $83.70 on NYSE in the Trade & Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $14.4B.
