Freedom Capital launched coverage of Flutter Entertainment with a Hold rating and set a $105 price target, implying roughly 8% upside from the last closing price.

The analyst cited execution issues that emerged late in fiscal 2025 and are expected to continue into fiscal 2026, raising concerns about near-term growth prospects.

Established prediction market players like Kalshi hold an early lead, and Flutter has yet to outline a clear strategy to attract users or expand its market share.
4. Stock Performance Review
Shares of the gambling operator have declined around 55% year-to-date, driven by slower-than-expected betting-volume growth, rising costs and leadership transitions.
