I would infer that the scale of the buyback implies that a dividend payment is very unlikely. As you probably know, US firms (which Flutter effectively is now) tend to prefer Buybacks over paying dividends as a method of returning funds to shareholders. |
Does buyback rules out dividend? |
For the most part, the stock has achieved what everyone thought this year would look like.
The Wildcard, however, is the share buyback program.
This obviously has a direct impact on the price and can change price-targets within a moments notice. |
Thanks Vraetorian. Very helpful. With that in mind and noting the timescale of the target (post below), Analysts are (on average) are notably lukewarm about the stock. |
A price target represents an analyst's estimate with the timeline of generally 12 to 18 months.
Which is why it's important to post the date the estimated announcement was declared.
Analysts can update these estimates at any time and as often as they like when new data has been presented by the company they're covering.
For example:
Sep 26, 202416:20 UTC
(16:20 GMT) Flutter Entertainment Price Target Raised to $275.00/Share From $240.00 by Craig-Hallum
Sep 26, 202414:27 UTC
(14:27 GMT) Flutter Entertainment Price Target Raised to $275.00/Share From $263.00 by Barclays
Sep 26, 202414:11 UTC
(14:11 GMT) Flutter Entertainment Price Target Raised to $300.00/Share From $255.00 by Oppenheimer |
Quick question as it has always bothered me. What the hell does “target price” actually mean?? I would welcome any insight but please provide detail if you have it ie Flutter is incredibly likely to make $400 a share one day but without specific timing guidance the “target” is meaningless. |
Benchmark 255 -> 265
MoffettNathanson 245 -> 275
Oppenheimer 255 -> 300
Barclays 263 -> 275
JMP maintains 255$
Average target price now 256$ based on my brokers data from factset. |
All going according to plan,the trajectory towards 2027/2028 has been for Flutter to be much larger than it is today.The share buy back is envisaged over three or four years.Time and patience.
The investor presentation went into some detail on the steps they are taking to get there. |
Trading halted on the up!Marvellous |
Wow!!! The announcement on doubling profits by 2027! $5bn share buyback. Incredible. |
I thought it was 13.00ET. |
First minute?! |
Serie A results in Italy have been really great. |
Investor day tomorrow NY Cipriani on Broadway @ 1pmAnyone going? |
Another 2/7 shot went down last night on Prime Time (some may need this explained to them)Bonanza time, few sellers now in the 170's but being mopped up. May well have just paid in full for a Brazilian betting company in the last fortnight |
I always enjoy being surprised by a positive result, however one has to ask themselves... Can two weekends offset the overall negative EPS forecasts that the Analysts are estimating for an entire quarter for this Global Company
- Potentially revealing headwinds in their current operational efficiencies, unforeseen political issues/taxes, immediate costs of synergies between new acquisition partners etc.
As of today it remains unchanged
EPS -0.47
Rev 3.05B (+- 6%)
Short-term volitility may result, but the annual EPS/Rev est. are impressive |
The analysts could not foresee that the last two weekends of sports results are amongst the best in history. Across Europe football and the NFL a long string of long odds on teams have fallen down with eg New York already reporting 19pc hold ahead of average 9 for the previous weekend and this one was close to that also. Over the whole Q minus 1 week to go there have been no nasty surprisesForecasts are now out of date and should be ignoredExpect revisions up soon |
Thanks. Does the Hargreaves Lansdown portal count as a “Trading Platform” in this context? |
There should be some free trading platforms out there that provide this level of information...at least in partial
If your current trading platform doesn't, have a quick look to see if these perks are hidden behind a membership upgrade. |
Thanks vraetorian. I really appreciate your posts focusing on these fundamentals. Can I ask where you obtain this kind of data? I am extremely focused on this stocks performance and all data sources are helpful to me. |
It makes me wonder why the Analysts are forecasting a -0.47 EPS for Q3 (Nov 11th, before Open)
Perhaps they'll cover this next Wednesday(Sept 25th)
May be attributed to the recent acquisitions... unless I'm missing some huge mishap.
That said, the Q4 numbers are looking quite good with a 2.65(Q4'24). The highest Quarter estimates we've seen in the last 4 years. Overall, this year will be almost as good as 2020 in terms of return on investments with 2025 estimated to blow it out of the water. |
Agreed Whitehouse… The difference in the hold % in NY between Fanduel and the rest of the market this week is staggering. Share price on the charge in the US over last 2 hours. |
NY hold for last week almost 20pc 35m a new record and 50pc of total Q3 is going to be massive |
Another day,another aquisition. |
