Flutter Entertainment PLC ( (FLUT) ) has issued an update.

Flutter Entertainment has redeemed and cancelled 179,729 of its ordinary shares in the U.S. market on March 20, 2026, at a volume‑weighted average price of $104.77, via broker Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC. The move reduces the company’s shares in issue to 174,952,368 and reflects ongoing execution of its previously announced $250 million, 10‑week buyback tranche within a broader $5 billion capital return program, signaling active balance‑sheet management and a shareholder‑friendly capital allocation stance.

The latest transactions, carried out across multiple U.S. trading venues, underline Flutter’s commitment to returning excess capital while potentially enhancing earnings per share through a smaller equity base. For investors, the sustained pace of redemptions reinforces management’s confidence in the group’s valuation and long‑term prospects in the online betting and gaming sector, though it modestly concentrates ownership among remaining shareholders.
