Flutter Entertainment stock is down 65.1% over the past year. Yet the broader valuation checks still lean toward the shares looking cheap rather than fully priced. With sentiment starting to shift after recent research pointing to easing concerns around prediction markets, the gap between weak past returns and a supportive valuation read is back in focus for investors.
- Over the last 12 months, Flutter Entertainment has declined 65.1%, which means the market has already priced in a significant amount of pessimism.
- Jefferies now sees competition from prediction markets as less of a threat, which can support earnings expectations, while any setback to profitability in the US business remains a key risk for how the stock is valued.
- Flutter Entertainment currently passes 5 out of 6 valuation checks, which suggests that on the broader metrics the stock screens as undervalued rather than expensive, according to the value score of 5.
The issue now is whether the recent reappraisal of Flutter Entertainment’s prospects is enough to close the gap between the depressed share price and the more supportive valuation checks.
Find out why Flutter Entertainment’s -65.1% return over the last year is lagging behind its peers.
Is Flutter Entertainment a Bargain on Sales?
The P/S ratio is a useful cross check for Flutter Entertainment because the business is often judged on revenue scale and growth potential rather than current earnings.
Flutter Entertainment trades on a P/S of about 1.1x, which is below both the hospitality industry average of around 1.7x and the peer group average of roughly 1.5x. On Simply Wall St’s more tailored fair P/S estimate of about 2.6x, which reflects the company’s mix of growth prospects, margins, size and risk profile, the current multiple sits well underneath what that model suggests as a reasonable anchor.
Despite Jefferies highlighting easing concerns around prediction market competition and improved sentiment toward Flutter Entertainment, the stock still changes hands at a discount to those sales based benchmarks. For investors who focus on revenue based measures, the current P/S ratio points to a market that is not paying up heavily for each dollar of Flutter Entertainment’s sales.
On the P/S multiple, Flutter Entertainment stock appears undervalued relative to both sector norms and its own fair value estimate.

The Bottom Line
Flutter Entertainment screens as undervalued on market multiples, with the P/S ratio sitting below both sector peers and a tailored fair sales-based benchmark. The broad valuation checks are supportive, although not unanimous. This keeps the focus on whether that discount reflects opportunity or ongoing concern around US profitability and regulatory costs. The key question from here is whether Flutter Entertainment can sustain enough profitable growth to convince the market to re-rate the multiple rather than treat the current valuation gap as a value trap.
