| Dec 01 | Market expansion | Positive | -2.3% | Launch of mobile sportsbook in Missouri with bonuses and donations. |

Across the last five events, news often led to price moves that diverged from headline tone, with only one clear alignment between positive news and a positive price reaction.
Over recent months, Flutter reported strong Q3 2025 growth with revenue of $3,794m and adjusted EBITDA of $478m, but also a net loss of $789m and higher leverage at 4.0x, plus reduced full‑year guidance. Product innovation continued with features like Pass The Leg and content partnerships such as the multi‑year Love Island deal. Regulatory headwinds from UK tax hikes and market expansion, including Missouri’s launch as the 25th mobile sports betting jurisdiction, frame today’s Missouri-focused announcement within a broader growth-versus-margin narrative.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights FanDuel’s launch in Missouri as its 25th mobile betting jurisdiction, supported by a promotional offer of $300 in Bonus Bets on a $5 qualifying wager and two $300,000 community donations. Set against recent Q3 2025 results showing revenue of $3,794m but a net loss of $789m and higher leverage at 4.0x, investors may watch how new-state growth, tax changes, and product innovation balance with profitability and cash flow trends over time.
