An announcement from Flutter Entertainment PLC ( (FLUT) ) is now available.
Flutter Entertainment has continued its U.S. share buyback activity, redeeming and cancelling 97,049 ordinary shares on March 13 at a volume-weighted average price of about $108.15, executed across multiple U.S. trading venues via Goldman Sachs. The transaction forms part of a previously announced $250 million buyback over 10 weeks that sits within a broader plan to repurchase up to $5 billion of shares, and will reduce the company’s outstanding share count to 175,353,799, underlining its focus on capital returns and balance-sheet optimisation.
By shrinking its equity base through regular redemptions, Flutter is signalling confidence in its financial position and long-term prospects, while potentially enhancing earnings per share and supporting its stock in a competitive global gaming sector. The detailed disclosure of trading activity also reflects regulatory compliance in the U.K. and EU-equivalent frameworks, providing transparency to investors and other stakeholders about the execution of the buyback programme.
