Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Over the last five years, Flutter Entertainment grew its sales at a 29.3% compounded annual growth rate. Although this growth is acceptable on an absolute basis, it fell slightly short of our standards for the consumer discretionary sector, which enjoys a number of secular tailwinds.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<figure data-testid=\"article-figure-image\" class=\"yf-1ems0tc\">\n<div class=\"image-container yf-lglytj loader\" style=\"--max-height: 540px;\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapper yf-lglytj\" style=\"--aspect-ratio: 960 \/ 540; --img-max-width: 960px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"Flutter Entertainment Quarterly Revenue\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"540\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj loader\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"yf-1ems0tc\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Flutter Entertainment Quarterly Revenue<!-- HTML_TAG_END -->  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within consumer discretionary, a stretched historical view may miss a company riding a successful new product or trend. Flutter Entertainment\u2019s recent performance shows its demand has slowed as its annualized revenue growth of 16.8% over the last two years was below its five-year trend. Note that COVID hurt Flutter Entertainment\u2019s business in 2020 and part of 2021, and it bounced back in a big way thereafter.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<figure data-testid=\"article-figure-image\" class=\"yf-1ems0tc\">\n<div class=\"image-container yf-lglytj loader\" style=\"--max-height: 540px;\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapper yf-lglytj\" style=\"--aspect-ratio: 960 \/ 540; --img-max-width: 960px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"Flutter Entertainment Year-On-Year Revenue Growth\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"540\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj loader\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"yf-1ems0tc\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Flutter Entertainment Year-On-Year Revenue Growth<!-- HTML_TAG_END -->  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->This quarter, Flutter Entertainment\u2019s revenue grew by 16.8% year on year to $3.79 billion but fell short of Wall Street\u2019s estimates.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 20.7% over the next 12 months, an improvement versus the last two years.
