Management also highlighted weaker customer engagement carrying into early 2026 after unusually high sportsbook hold late in the NFL season, adding to concerns about near-term growth and margins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<li>The company posted adjusted EPS of $1.74 for Q4 2025 on revenue of $4.74 billion, both below consensus expectations cited by market coverage.<\/li>\n<li>Full-year 2025 revenue was about $16.4 billion, coming in below the company\u2019s prior revenue outlook and reinforcing worries about slowing handle growth in the U.S.<\/li>\n<li>For 2026, Flutter guided to roughly $18.4 billion of group revenue and about $2.97 billion of adjusted EBITDA at the midpoint, which investors appeared to view as cautious versus prior Street models.<\/li>\n<li>The company said U.S. trading into 2026 reflected lower customer engagement after very high gross revenue margins in late Q4 and less compelling NFL \u201cplayer narratives,\u201d while also planning increased investment in its prediction-markets initiative.<\/li>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GlobeNewswire, Financial Times, MarketWatch<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: This price movement analysis was generated with the help of AI.
