Prior to posting its Q3 trading update, Entain had warned investors of ‘aggravating factors’ impacting period trading and lowering the firm’s full-year earnings guidance.
 
Year comparatives see the FTSE giant maintain revenue growth, primarily due to the continued expansion of the BetMGM joint-venture.
 
Yet results cannot hide the lacklustre trading of its European brands, reporting pro forma revenue declines across online and retail segments.
 
Acting on the front foot, Entain’s leadership has triggered a new corporate strategy, streamlining operations to improve earnings and shareholder value as company investors are told that Entain will soften its M&A strategy.
