- Flutter Entertainment plans to withdraw its shares from the London Stock Exchange in August.
- This decision follows approximately two years after the company established New York as its primary listing location.
- New York will now serve as the exclusive listing venue for the gaming equity.
Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT) has officially declared its intention to remove its shares from the London Stock Exchange (LSE) by August, positioning New York as the sole listing platform for the gaming stock.
FanDuel has been considering this move and recently informed shareholders that a final decision is expected in the second quarter. The delisting will take effect at 8 AM local London time on Monday, August 3.
“After the LSE delisting, Flutter’s shares will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker ‘FLUT.’ Once the LSE delisting is finalized, Flutter’s ordinary shares will exclusively be listed on the NYSE,” the gaming firm stated.
This announcement follows approximately two and a half years after Flutter listed in New York, a strategic move that led to the withdrawal of its listing from Euronext Dublin.
Indications Suggest Flutter Prioritized NYSE
Flutter’s choice to withdraw from the London listing was anticipated. Prior to the May announcement, there were already signs indicating the potential for such a transition.
Less than three months post its New York listing, the owner of Betfair expressed intentions to consider making the NYSE its primary listing venue. In May 2024, shareholders voted in favor of this primary listing shift to New York, and the transition was completed the following month.
The operator of Paddy Power suggested that financial considerations may have influenced the decision to discontinue the London listing. In other words, companies incur costs for their share listings, and reducing the number of venues can be a practical, though minor, method of saving costs.
“During the evaluation of its listing structures, the Company meticulously assessed the trading activity level of its shares on the LSE along with the associated costs, regulatory requirements, and administrative duties tied to maintaining the LSE listing. It concluded that proceeding with the LSE delisting is in the best interest of both the Company and its shareholders,” the Flutter statement read.
Flutter Previously Excluded from FTSE 100
In relation to the 2024 choice of making New York its primary listing venue, Flutter was removed from the FTSE 100 Index, which serves as a pivotal metric for UK-listed stocks. According to guidelines from index provider FTSE Russell, a company may need not be British to be part of the index, but must maintain what some observers refer to as a “premium” LSE listing.
Part of Flutter’s reasoning for its New York listing was to expand its investor base and aim for inclusion in US equity benchmarks like the S&P 500. So far, while Flutter has not been included in the S&P 500, it is represented in the MSCI USA and Russell 1000 indexes, among others.
