Here are the key news stories impacting Flutter Entertainment this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Several Wall Street firms kept “buy”/”overweight” stances and continue to see meaningful upside despite trimming targets, signalling continued conviction in Flutter’s long‑term position (analysts cite competitive strengths and attractive risk/reward). TipRanks story
• Positive Sentiment: Top-line growth remains solid: revenue rose ~25% year‑over‑year in the quarter, showing demand expansion even as profitability is under pressure. Earnings press release
• Neutral Sentiment: Annual Report and Accounts 2025 published — useful for detailed financials and accounting disclosures but not market moving on its own. GlobeNewswire
• Neutral Sentiment: Some outlets note a small EPS beat versus a narrow consensus (Zacks view) but that contrasts with broader consensus misses — mixed signals on the quarter depending on which benchmark you use. Zacks
• Negative Sentiment: Disappointing Q4 results and weak FY‑2026 guidance: EPS missed broader consensus (reported $1.74 vs. an often‑cited $2.11 consensus) and revenue was below estimates; management forecasted materially softer profit growth for 2026, citing U.S. market headwinds. This guidance shortfall is the primary driver of the stock decline. Reuters
• Negative Sentiment: Operational headwinds in the U.S.: high NFL hold and promotional missteps reduced betting volumes and customer engagement, and management said customer growth moderated while market share slipped in Q4. These are concrete execution risks for FanDuel, Flutter’s largest profit driver. LegalSportsReport
• Negative Sentiment: Market reaction and analyst re‑pricing: shares dropped sharply after the report and multiple brokers cut price targets (examples include Needham, Benchmark, Truist, BTIG, Citizens/JMP, Barclays and Oppenheimer), reflecting a re‑rating of near‑term earnings power. That repricing increases downside risk near term. Benzinga roundup
