The latest announcement is out from Entain plc ( (GB:ENT) ).
Entain plc has expressed disappointment regarding the UK Government’s decision to increase gambling taxes, which the company believes will negatively impact the industry by making regulated operators less competitive compared to the black market. The tax changes are expected to cost Entain’s UK&I Online business approximately £200 million annually, with a mitigated EBITDA impact of £100 million in 2026. Despite these challenges, Entain remains focused on its strategic priorities and is well-positioned to absorb regulatory changes due to its diverse geographic footprint and strong market positions.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ENT) stock is a Hold with a £738.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Entain plc stock, see the GB:ENT Stock Forecast page.
