Investing.com - Citizens JMP raised its price target on Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:FLUT) to $345.00 from $323.00 on Friday, while maintaining a Market Outperform rating on the stock. The company, currently valued at $52.64 billion, has seen its stock surge nearly 60% over the past year, trading close to its 52-week high of $313.69.
The price target increase follows Flutter Entertainment’s second-quarter earnings report. Citizens JMP’s new target is based on 13.4x 2027E EBITDA, adjusted from the previous 15.0x 2026E EBITDA, and 20x 2027E FCF. According to InvestingPro data, the company currently trades at an EV/EBITDA multiple of 30.71x, with trailing twelve-month EBITDA of $2.06 billion.
Citizens JMP believes Flutter’s U.S. business warrants a premium multiple compared to its online peers in the U.S. market. The firm’s analysis applies a 15x multiple on 2027E EBITDA, which attributes $39 billion of value to the FanDuel business.
From a sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) perspective, Citizens JMP views Flutter’s business outside the U.S. as undervalued given its size and scale compared to competitors.
