On August 5, Flutter Entertainment PLC fell 6.62% in pre-market trading to $97.0/share, with turnover of $429,500. The decline coincides with the company's scheduled Q2 fiscal earnings release before market open.

Market consensus heading into the report projected adjusted EPS of $0.61, representing a 70.46% year-over-year decline, while EBIT was expected at $104 million, down 76.13% YoY. Revenue was anticipated at $4.262 billion, reflecting only 3.11% growth against a high base period. The sharp pre-market selloff suggests results or guidance may have disappointed even these already subdued expectations.

The weakness follows a challenging period for Flutter, which missed Q4 estimates in February with EPS of $1.74 versus the $1.99 consensus, triggering a 9%+ post-earnings decline. In April, Citigroup downgraded the stock to sell, and analyst price targets have been repeatedly slashed, with the mean target falling from over $274 in February to $151 more recently. Notably, the company completed its London Stock Exchange delisting on August 3, consolidating trading exclusively on the NYSE.
