The group confirmed the news this morning (3 August), with its delisting effective as of 8am UK local time. Flutter revealed in June that it was planning to walk away from the LSE, with its final day of trading 31 July.
Prior to officially announcing the delisting in June, Flutter had been linked with a move away from the LSE. This followed a revelation in its Q1 results that it was reviewing the listing.
Detailing the results of the review, Flutter highlighted several issues with its LSE listing. These included low trading volumes and both the costs and regulatory burden of maintaining the listing. As such, it concluded that exiting the LSE was in the best interests of shareholders.
On the final day of trading on the LSE (31 July), Flutter’s shares were priced at £75.88 each. This was some 6.8% lower than the £81.38 at which the share price opened last week.
Flutter to focus on New York
With the LSE delisting confirmed, this means Flutter’s share will now only trade on the NYSE in the US. This comes despite the company having only first entered the NYSE just over two years ago.
Flutter’s journey to the NYSE began back in January 2024 when it set out plans to pursue a primary listing in New York. Just four months later, it shifted its primary listing from Dublin to New York, but retained a secondary presence in London.
At the time, Flutter said a US listing would provide greater access to investors in the North American market. It also said it would better reflect the growing importance of its US-facing business, led by FanDuel – which has gone from strength to strength during the past two years.
That said, just prior to the LSE announcement in June, FanDuel revealed it was to let more staff go. The actual number of outgoings was not confirmed, but NEXT.io understood the figure to be in the hundreds.
UK market still key for Flutter
Despite its exit from the LSE, there is no suggestion that Flutter has any intention of moving away from its UK and Irish business.
The group operates several major brands in the region including Paddy Power, Sky Betting & Gaming, Betfair and tombola. Flutter’s UK & Ireland division remains one of its largest business segments in terms of revenue.
Flutter is due to publish its Q2 results later this week, with an earnings call scheduled for 5 August.
