| 08.04.25 10:45:50 | Institutional owners may consider drastic measures as Entain Plc's (LON:ENT) recent UK£477m drop adds to long-term losses | |
| Key Insights Given the large stake in the stock by institutions, Entain's stock price might be vulnerable to their trading decisions The top 6 shareholders own 53% of the company Analyst forecasts along with ownership data serve to give a strong idea about prospects for a business We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Every investor in Entain Plc (LON:ENT) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are institutions with 69% ownership. That is, the group stands to benefit the most if the stock rises (or lose the most if there is a downturn). And so it follows that institutional investors was the group most impacted after the company's market cap fell to UK£3.2b last week after a 13% drop in the share price. Needless to say, the recent loss which further adds to the one-year loss to shareholders of 37% might not go down well especially with this category of shareholders. Often called “market movers", institutions wield significant power in influencing the price dynamics of any stock. As a result, if the decline continues, institutional investors may be pressured to sell Entain which might hurt individual investors. In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of Entain. Check out our latest analysis for Entain LSE:ENT Ownership Breakdown April 8th 2025 What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Entain? Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Entain. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Entain's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.LSE:ENT Earnings and Revenue Growth April 8th 2025 Institutional investors own over 50% of the company, so together than can probably strongly influence board decisions. It looks like hedge funds own 6.4% of Entain shares. That catches my attention because hedge funds sometimes try to influence management, or bring about changes that will create near term value for shareholders. Capital Research and Management Company is currently the largest shareholder, with 20% of shares outstanding. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 9.9% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 7.2% by the third-largest shareholder. Story Continues We also observed that the top 6 shareholders account for more than half of the share register, with a few smaller shareholders to balance the interests of the larger ones to a certain extent. Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily. Insider Ownership Of Entain While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. Our data suggests that insiders own under 1% of Entain Plc in their own names. It is a pretty big company, so it would be possible for board members to own a meaningful interest in the company, without owning much of a proportional interest. In this case, they own around UK£6.3m worth of shares (at current prices). Arguably, recent buying and selling is just as important to consider. You can click here to see if insiders have been buying or selling. General Public Ownership The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 24% stake in Entain. While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies. Next Steps: While it is well worth considering the different groups that own a company, there are other factors that are even more important.

| 25.03.25 09:26:26 | Entain Insiders Added UK£2.97m Of Stock To Their Holdings | |
| Over the last year, a good number of insiders have significantly increased their holdings in Entain Plc (LON:ENT). This is encouraging because it indicates that insiders are more optimistic about the company's prospects. While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Entain Insider Transactions Over The Last Year In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Interim CEO & Non-Executive Director Stella David bought UK£1m worth of shares at a price of UK£7.29 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of UK£6.59. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. While Entain insiders bought shares during the last year, they didn't sell. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below! Check out our latest analysis for Entain LSE:ENT Insider Trading Volume March 25th 2025 Entain is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find small cap companies at attractive valuations, this freelist of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket. Insider Ownership I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. It appears that Entain insiders own 0.2% of the company, worth about UK£10m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders. What Might The Insider Transactions At Entain Tell Us? There haven't been any insider transactions in the last three months -- that doesn't mean much. However, our analysis of transactions over the last year is heartening. Insiders do have a stake in Entain and their transactions don't cause us concern. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for Entain you should know about. Story Continues Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this freelist of interesting companies. For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body. We currently account for open market transactions and private dispositions of direct interests only, but not derivative transactions or indirect interests. Have feedback on this article?

| 10.03.25 08:10:28 | Entain (LON:ENT) Has Announced A Dividend Of £0.093 | |
| The board of Entain Plc (LON:ENT) has announced that it will pay a dividend of £0.093 per share on the 25th of April. This takes the dividend yield to 2.6%, which shareholders will be pleased with. View our latest analysis for Entain Estimates Indicate Entain's Dividend Coverage Likely To Improve If the payments aren't sustainable, a high yield for a few years won't matter that much. While Entain is not profitable, it is paying out less than 75% of its free cash flow, which means that there is plenty left over for reinvestment into the business. We generally think that cash flow is more important than accounting measures of profit, so we are fairly comfortable with the dividend at this level. Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise exponentially over the next year. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio will be 2.2%, which makes us pretty comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.LSE:ENT Historic Dividend March 10th 2025 Dividend Volatility The company's dividend history has been marked by instability, with at least one cut in the last 10 years. The dividend has gone from an annual total of £0.364 in 2015 to the most recent total annual payment of £0.186. Doing the maths, this is a decline of about 6.5% per year. Generally, we don't like to see a dividend that has been declining over time as this can degrade shareholders' returns and indicate that the company may be running into problems. The Dividend Has Limited Growth Potential With a relatively unstable dividend, and a poor history of shrinking dividends, it's even more important to see if EPS is growing. Over the past five years, it looks as though Entain's EPS has declined at around 46% a year. Such rapid declines definitely have the potential to constrain dividend payments if the trend continues into the future. It's not all bad news though, as the earnings are predicted to rise over the next 12 months - we would just be a bit cautious until this becomes a long term trend. Entain's Dividend Doesn't Look Sustainable In summary, while it's always good to see the dividend being raised, we don't think Entain's payments are rock solid. The company is generating plenty of cash, which could maintain the dividend for a while, but the track record hasn't been great. This company is not in the top tier of income providing stocks. Companies possessing a stable dividend policy will likely enjoy greater investor interest than those suffering from a more inconsistent approach. However, there are other things to consider for investors when analysing stock performance. Taking the debate a bit further, we've identified 1 warning sign for Entain that investors need to be conscious of moving forward. Looking for more high-yielding dividend ideas?

| 09.03.25 08:06:41 | Don't Buy Entain Plc (LON:ENT) For Its Next Dividend Without Doing These Checks | |
| Entain Plc (LON:ENT) stock is about to trade ex-dividend in three days. Typically, the ex-dividend date is two business days before the record date, which is the date on which a company determines the shareholders eligible to receive a dividend. It is important to be aware of the ex-dividend date because any trade on the stock needs to have been settled on or before the record date. Accordingly, Entain investors that purchase the stock on or after the 13th of March will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 25th of April. The company's next dividend payment will be UK£0.093 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of UK£0.19 to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Entain stock has a trailing yield of around 2.6% on the current share price of UK£7.236. We love seeing companies pay a dividend, but it's also important to be sure that laying the golden eggs isn't going to kill our golden goose! So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing. Check out our latest analysis for Entain Dividends are typically paid out of company income, so if a company pays out more than it earned, its dividend is usually at a higher risk of being cut. Entain reported a loss after tax last year, which means it's paying a dividend despite being unprofitable. While this might be a one-off event, this is unlikely to be sustainable in the long term. Considering the lack of profitability, we also need to check if the company generated enough cash flow to cover the dividend payment. If cash earnings don't cover the dividend, the company would have to pay dividends out of cash in the bank, or by borrowing money, neither of which is long-term sustainable. Fortunately, it paid out only 41% of its free cash flow in the past year.

Businesses with shrinking earnings are tricky from a dividend perspective. If earnings fall far enough, the company could be forced to cut its dividend. Entain was unprofitable last year and, unfortunately, the general trend suggests its earnings have been in decline over the last five years, making us wonder if the dividend is sustainable at all. The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. Entain's dividend payments per share have declined at 6.5% per year on average over the past 10 years, which is uninspiring. It's never nice to see earnings and dividends falling, but at least management has cut the dividend rather than potentially risk the company's health in an attempt to maintain it. Story Continues Remember, you can always get a snapshot of Entain's financial health, by checking our visualisation of its financial health, here. The Bottom Line Has Entain got what it takes to maintain its dividend payments? First, it's not great to see the company paying a dividend despite being loss-making over the last year. On the plus side, the dividend was covered by free cash flow." It's not that we think Entain is a bad company, but these characteristics don't generally lead to outstanding dividend performance. So if you're still interested in Entain despite it's poor dividend qualities, you should be well informed on some of the risks facing this stock. For example, we've found 1 warning sign for Entain that we recommend you consider before investing in the business. Generally, we wouldn't recommend just buying the first dividend stock you see.

| 06.03.25 14:05:58 | Investors in Entain (LON:ENT) have unfortunately lost 48% over the last three years | |
| As an investor its worth striving to ensure your overall portfolio beats the market average. But in any portfolio, there are likely to be some stocks that fall short of that benchmark. Unfortunately, that's been the case for longer term Entain Plc (LON:ENT) shareholders, since the share price is down 50% in the last three years, falling well short of the market return of around 24%. It's worthwhile assessing if the company's economics have been moving in lockstep with these underwhelming shareholder returns, or if there is some disparity between the two. So let's do just that. Check out our latest analysis for Entain In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). We know that Entain has been profitable in the past. However, it made a loss in the last twelve months, suggesting profit may be an unreliable metric at this stage. Other metrics might give us a better handle on how its value is changing over time. Revenue is actually up 9.7% over the three years, so the share price drop doesn't seem to hinge on revenue, either. It's probably worth investigating Entain further; while we may be missing something on this analysis, there might also be an opportunity. The company's revenue and earnings (over time) are depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers).LSE:ENT Earnings and Revenue Growth March 6th 2025 We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. This freereport showing analyst forecasts should help you form a view on Entain What About Dividends? As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. As it happens, Entain's TSR for the last 3 years was -48%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! A Different Perspective Investors in Entain had a tough year, with a total loss of 8.2% (including dividends), against a market gain of about 15%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 4%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Entain better, we need to consider many other factors. Even so, be aware that Entain is showing 1 warning sign in our investment analysis, you should know about...

| 20.02.25 11:36:46 | Why Entain Plc (LON:ENT) Could Be Worth Watching |  |
| While Entain Plc (LON:ENT) might not have the largest market cap around , it led the LSE gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. The recent rally in share prices has nudged the company in the right direction, though it still falls short of its yearly peak. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Today we will analyse the most recent data on Entain’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists. See our latest analysis for Entain What's The Opportunity In Entain? Good news, investors! Entain is still a bargain right now. According to our valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is £11.04, but it is currently trading at UK£7.50 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Entain’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

With profit expected to grow by 81% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for Entain.

Since ENT is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation. Are you a potential investor?

| 11.02.25 14:34:04 | Ladbrokes owner’s shares plunge as boss quits after five months | |
| Gavin Isaacs, an Australian-born gambling industry veteran, joined Entain in September after moving from Las Vegas - David Becker/Zuma Wire/Alamy Live News The chief executive of Ladbrokes owner Entain has unexpectedly stepped down after just five months, sending shares in the gambling giant down by 11pc. Entain said that Gavin Isaacs was leaving the business with immediate effect and by mutual agreement. Mr Isaacs, an Australian-born gambling industry veteran who had worked for a series of privately-owned US companies, joined the company in September after moving from Las Vegas. However, despite a glittering CV and background in the American gambling industry, operating a multinational London-listed company is understood to have presented a different challenge, leading Entain’s board to search for a new boss. His exit is not believed to be performance-related, with Entain recently claiming that annual profits would be at the top end of market expectations. Mr Isaacs’ departure adds to the sense of upheaval at the company, which also owns Coral and Sportingbet. Until he arrived, Entain had been without a permanent chief executive for nine months following the departure of Jette Nygaard-Andersen, who left following a £615m payment to settle a bribery investigation related to its Turkish business. Stella David, Entain’s chairman, who had previously run the company on a temporary basis, will become interim chief executive, while Pierre Bouchut, the senior independent director, will become interim chairman. Ms David said Entain was “making strong progress in delivering our strategic priorities” adding: “We would like to thank Gavin for his contribution.” It comes as the company continues to face a series of questions about its past conduct. The Financial Reporting Council is investigating KPMG over its audit of Entain’s 2022 accounts. Australian regulators have also launched legal action against the company over allegations it has broken anti-money laundering rules, saying it did not have the right controls in place to confirm users’ identities and the source of their funds. Entain has said this could lead to a financial penalty. Shares in the company, formerly known as GVC Holdings, have fallen by a third in the last year. Entain said it would look for a permanent replacement for Mr Isaacs. View Comments |
