Flutter Entertainment
Flutter Entertainment's revenue rose 16.6% to $16.4 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 0.2%, down from 6.2% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $1.1 billion, down 26.0%. It paid out $1.1 billion in dividends and buybacks, 104% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 1.7%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What Flutter Entertainment does
Flutter Entertainment is an online betting and gaming company based in Ireland. It runs sportsbooks, online casino games (called iGaming), daily fantasy sports, horse racing wagering and, in the U.S., prediction markets. Its U.S. brands are FanDuel and TVG. It says it had 15.9 million average monthly players in fiscal 2025.
It reports two segments. The U.S. segment offers its products online in many states, with some sports betting in a small number of retail outlets, and made up 43% of 2025 revenue. The International segment operates in approximately 100 markets and offers sports betting, casino, poker and lottery. It made up 57% of revenue.
By product, 53% of fiscal 2025 revenue came from sportsbook and 44% from iGaming, and 88% came from online businesses. Flutter grows partly through purchases. In fiscal 2025 these included a 56% interest in Brazil's NSX Group, which runs the Betnacional brand, and the owner of Italy's Snai, one of that country's omni-channel betting operators, which means it takes bets both online and in shops.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Weaker economies and consumer spending, and rising competition in online betting, iGaming and prediction markets.
- Unclear or changing laws on online betting and iGaming, and public opinion about gambling.
- Failing to keep customers or sign new ones, or to launch products that people use.
- Losses from setting betting odds wrongly, which can cut profit sharply.
- Losing key staff and failing to keep its workforce skilled.

Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share
From fiscal 2016 to 2024, earnings per share fell 12.5% a year and net income 13.4% a year, while buybacks cut the share count by 8%. Flutter Entertainment then lost money in fiscal 2025.

Valuation
Two ways to value Flutter Entertainment yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Flutter Entertainment's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Flutter Entertainment's fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $1.1B, net cash of −$10.4B at December 31, 2025 and 177 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Flutter Entertainment: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 20.1% a year, kept between 0% and 20%; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 12%: 11% for a cyclical or higher-risk business (Casinos & Gaming), plus 1 point for unsteady results (a loss in fiscal 2025); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
- Last close, October 26, 2026
- $80.18
- Value on these assumptions, against the last close
- —
- Cash flows in years 1 to 10, valued today
- —
- Everything after year 10, valued today
- —
- Plus net cash
- —
- Share of value from after year 10
How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
The P/E method needs positive earnings, and Flutter Entertainment's latest diluted earnings per share were negative or zero.
