Asia FX moves little with focus on US-China trade, dollar steadies ahead of CPI
Investing.com - BTIG has raised its price target on SGHC Limited (NYSE:SGHC) to $14.00 from $13.00 while maintaining a Buy rating following the company’s second-quarter results that exceeded expectations. The company’s stock has shown remarkable momentum, delivering a 74.91% return year-to-date. According to InvestingPro data, SGHC maintains a strong financial health score, with more cash than debt on its balance sheet.
Super Group published second-quarter results on Thursday that surpassed both BTIG’s and consensus estimates for Revenue and EBITDA. The primary driver of outperformance was stronger Ex-US Online Casino (EPA:CASP) revenue growth of approximately 28%, which topped BTIG’s mid-teens estimate. This performance aligns with the company’s impressive revenue growth of 31.3% and healthy gross profit margin of 50.41%.
The FIFA Club World Cup outperformed management expectations during the quarter, though sports results came in slightly below BTIG’s projections, with second-quarter sports growing 28% year-over-year versus the firm’s estimate of 32% year-over-year growth.
BTIG has adjusted its estimates to reflect a higher second-quarter baseline and steady sequential growth in the Casino business, while tempering 2026 estimates to reflect more modest growth against a higher base for the Sports business as World Cup 2026 will be compared against the Club World Cup.
The firm sees multiple catalysts supporting strong growth through 2026, including product development, the FIFA World Cup, and the roll-out of Jackpot City Casino to new markets such as Ghana, Zambia, Nigeria, and Botswana, with product improvement being a key focus area as management rated their existing product as a 6 or 7 out of 10 in markets outside of Africa.
