On September 18, Flutter Entertainment PLC declined 5.34% in regular trading, trading at $92.42 per share, with turnover of approximately $239 million. The sharp sell-off came amid mounting negative sentiment following a high-profile portfolio disclosure.
On the news front, renowned hedge fund manager Michael Burry recently disclosed that he has fully liquidated his entire Flutter Entertainment position, fueling concerns over the company's outlook. The move amplified existing bearish pressure: Citigroup had previously downgraded Flutter from Buy to Sell in April, and while it later raised the rating to Neutral in August, the target price was trimmed to $93. UBS also slashed its price target sharply to $160 from $300 earlier. Additionally, Flutter's subsidiary FanDuel faces ongoing product-liability litigation related to microbetting practices, adding to the risk profile.
Within the Casinos & Gaming sector, weakness was broad-based. Among major peers, DraftKings Inc. fell 6.39%, Churchill Downs dropped 1.40%, Wynn declined 0.55%, Las Vegas Sands slipped 0.18%, while Caesars Entertainment edged up 0.08%.
