Entain plc (LSE:ENT) has delivered a solid start to FY25, with Q1 Group Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) surpassing expectations. The company saw notable growth in its online operations, particularly in the UK and through its BetMGM joint venture. The recent appointment of Stella David as CEO is expected to ensure continuity in the company’s strategic direction. Entain remains optimistic about achieving mid-single-digit growth in Online NGR for FY25 and anticipates generating over £0.5 billion in annual cash flow in the medium term. The company’s impressive performance highlights its strategic position in regulated growth markets, reinforcing its potential for sustainable earnings and cash generation.
