Flutter Entertainment reports second-quarter results Wednesday before the market opens, and the key question is whether FanDuel’s U.S. sports betting strength can offset rising costs tied to prediction markets and international restructuring.
Analysts cited by Investing.com expect Flutter to post earnings of $0.393 per share on $4.25 billion in revenue. That would be down from the first quarter, when the company reported $1.22 per share on $4.3 billion in revenue.
FanDuel remains central to the U.S. story
The earnings setup matters because Flutter has framed its business increasingly around FanDuel and the U.S. market. The company completed its delisting from the London Stock Exchange on Aug. 3, leaving the New York Stock Exchange as its sole listing.
Management has presented that move as a way to streamline a more U.S.-focused equity story around the FanDuel brand. Investors are also watching how continued spending on prediction markets and new state launches fits into that strategy.
According to the source report, Flutter has invested heavily in prediction markets this year, even as it accepted near-term margin pressure in pursuit of longer-term market share.
Forecasts, ratings, and pressure points heading into results
The source says earnings estimates have improved modestly in recent weeks, with EPS estimates rising 11% over the past 60 days, while revenue estimates were essentially flat over the same period.
Analyst sentiment remains broadly positive. Of 30 analysts covering the stock, 21 rate it a Buy. The consensus price target stands at $153.97, which would imply 45% upside from the cited share price of $105.96. Even so, the stock is still 66% below its 52-week high of $313.69.
Not all of the pressure is coming from the U.S. Flutter also faces strain in its international business from PokerStars restructuring and higher UK taxation. The report notes that Remote Gaming Duty nearly doubled to 40% in April.
Flutter also trimmed its full-year 2026 outlook in May, citing lower adjusted EBITDA linked to investment in prediction markets.
What to watch in Wednesday’s report
The results should give a clearer read on whether FanDuel’s U.S. leadership is strong enough to balance those added costs and support Flutter’s broader strategy. For readers tracking FanDuel, the most important signals will be management’s commentary on U.S. performance, prediction-market spending, and how long the company expects near-term margin pressure to continue.
As of the source report, Flutter’s actual second-quarter results had not yet been released.
