Flutter Entertainment's shares are nearing all-time peaks and are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Flutter Entertainment's Shares Surge in Favor of Shareholders After Impressive Business Performance
The gaming behemoth Flutter Entertainment has witnessed an upward trend in shareholder sentiment due to exceptional business outcomes. Flutter Entertainment is planning to debut on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on January 29, making it another significant achievement in the company's history.
Dublin Delisting in the Chronicles
Previously, Flutter Entertainment's stocks were traded on Euronext Dublin and the London Stock Exchange (LSE). However, the delisting from Dublin occurred on January 23, according to iGaming Business.
Even though Dublin houses Flutter Entertainment's headquarters, the company will subsequently list in New York and London, aiming to simplify complexity. Upon receiving approval from the U.S. securities regulatory body, trading on the NYSE will commence on January 29.
New York Listing: A Testament to US Success
Flutter Entertainment considered listing on NYSE as early as February 2023. The enterprise has ambitious expansion plans in the U.S., as the prosperity of FanDuel, a Flutter division, has significantly contributed to the impressive operating revenue in 2023.
Martin Lyttle, CEO of Flutter Entertainment, recently hinted at FanDuel's forthcoming breakthrough during an earnings call:

Flutter Entertainment recorded sales of approximately €11 billion in the 2023 financial year, marking a 25% boost compared to the prior year. The U.S. market demonstrated even more substantial growth, at roughly 38%, playing a crucial role in the success.
Flutter Entertainment: A Brief Overview
Flutter Entertainment emerged in 2016 through the fusion of gaming giants Paddy Power and Betfair. Under the Paddy Power Betfair umbrella, the company operated until 2019, when it transitioned to Flutter Entertainment.
In 2018, Flutter Entertainment purchased FanDuel, a move that proved strategic, especially for expanding in the U.S. market. In the UK, Sky Bet, the flagship brand collaborating with the prominent TV channel, plays a vital role in the company's success.
Flutter Entertainment also boasts a commitment to social responsibility. In 2023, the company donated around £8 million (approx. €9.3 million) to charitable causes in the UK and Ireland.
Flutter's Share Price Skyrocketed Last Week
Over the course of the year, Flutter's share price remained relatively stable. However, the share price surged by nearly 20% last week, suggesting a return towards its March 2021 peak.
Shareholders who remained loyal to the company since the 2020 COVID-19 trough saw their investments triple in value. Nevertheless, Flutter Entertainment has yet to issue a dividend during this period. This could potentially change as long as the growth remains consistent.
Following the delisting from Euronext Dublin on January 23, Flutter Entertainment's share price received a boost, with news of its upcoming NYSE debut on January 29 sparking interest among shareholders. After the impressive announcement, the news of Flutter Entertainment's impressive financial performance further fueled the surge in share prices.
