Flutter to Delist from LSE Aug 3; Q1 Profit Falls to $218M
Summary
Flutter Entertainment will delist its shares from the London Stock Exchange on August 3, consolidating its primary listing on the NYSE. The company reported Q1 net profit of $218 million, a decline from $283 million year-over-year. This strategic move follows recent negative news, including a $407 million FY2025 net loss, CEO departure, and a guidance downgrade.
