Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
Investing.com - MoffettNathanson raised its price target on Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:FLUT) to $350 from $310 on Friday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The online gaming sector continues to show strong momentum, with key competitor DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG) trading near its 52-week high of $53.61 and showing impressive revenue growth of 25.8% over the last twelve months, according to InvestingPro data.
The research firm cited potential upside to its 2030 U.S. EBITDA estimate as the primary driver for the $40 increase in the price target. MoffettNathanson continues to value Flutter’s U.S. operations at 12x 2030 GAAP EBITDA but now discounts that back to 2027 rather than 2026. For deeper insights into the online gaming sector’s valuations and growth metrics, including exclusive Fair Value models and comprehensive financial health scores, explore the full research report available on InvestingPro.
The firm also adjusted its valuation for Flutter’s non-U.S. business, now valuing it at 9x its 2027 GAAP EBITDA estimate versus the previous 2026 estimate. These changes result in an enterprise value of $73 billion and an equity value of $62 billion for the company.
MoffettNathanson believes FanDuel, Flutter’s U.S. subsidiary, is uniquely positioned to capture a growing share of the U.S. online gaming market as the leading online sports betting platform and a major player in iGaming.
The firm maintained its EBITDA multiples despite rolling its valuation forward one year, citing confidence in the current strength of Flutter’s underlying business and its clear growth trajectory.
