Flutter intends to delist from the London Stock Exchange on 3 August 2026
The company cited lower LSE trading activity and the costs of maintaining a dual listing
Flutter's shares will continue trading exclusively on the NYSE under the ticker FLUT

Flutter Entertainment has announced its intention to delist its ordinary shares from the London Stock Exchange (LSE), with the move expected to take effect on 3 August 2026.

The company said the decision follows a review of its listing structure, which was first announced alongside its first-quarter financial results in May. According to Flutter, the review considered trading volumes on the LSE, as well as the additional regulatory, administrative and financial costs associated with maintaining a dual listing.

If completed as planned, Flutter's ordinary shares will continue to trade exclusively on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol FLUT. The final day of trading on the LSE is expected to be 31 July.

The company has submitted requests to the UK Financial Conduct Authority to cancel its listing on the Official List and to the LSE to remove its shares from trading on the exchange's main market. Under UK Listing Rules, Flutter is required to provide at least 20 business days' notice before the delisting takes effect.

Flutter stated that the change will not affect its place of incorporation or tax domicile, both of which will remain in Ireland. The company also noted that shareholder approval is not required for the delisting under current UK Listing Rules.

To support investors through the transition, Flutter has published a detailed FAQ explaining the process and outlining any actions required by shareholders.

While many investors will not need to take action, holders of depositary interests (DIs) may need to transfer their holdings to a broker or custodian that can facilitate trading through the US Depository Trust Company if they wish to continue trading on the NYSE.

The operator said shareholder support services and dedicated helplines will remain available throughout the transition period.

The LSE delisting is the latest in a series of notable developments at Flutter in recent weeks. In Q1 2026, the company reported a 17% revenue increase to $4.3bn, though net income fell 38% to $209m. 

On the personnel front, senior executive Asaf Noifeld announced his departure after more than 12 years with the group, while Sportsbet CEO Barni Evans transitioned into an expanded Flutter role overseeing APAC and Emerging Markets, with Doug Brown succeeding him in Australia from 1 June.

Good to know

Flutter said its ISIN will remain unchanged following the delisting, while its Irish incorporation and tax domicile will also remain the same
