Should You Buy FLTR Shares?
Gambling is slowly starting to get legalised across the U.S. as more states are lining up to legalise sports betting and casinos due to demand from voters. While the industry doesn’t generate a lot of revenue currently, companies expect that the market could be greater than $40 billion in annual revenues over the next ten years. This puts Flutter Entertainment in a very advantageous position to capitalise on this growth opportunity.
The overall potential of the U.S. market is huge for any investor to ignore it, due to the country’s large population and appetite for sports. With the legal situation rapidly improving, analysts believe that almost 40 states could eventually be on the path to legalise sports betting. Flutter Entertainment which already has a line of reputable brands in place, will certainly benefit if this comes true.
Investors will find Flutter Entertainment the perfect vehicle to play the growth expected from the online gambling sector, not just in the United States but all across the world. The company has already established an international presence and is well-positioned to capture the expected growth from legislative changes in markets. It is also cheap compared to the shares of many of its competitors. Overall, investors might look to add FLTR shares to their portfolios at this time.
