Playtech (LSE:PTEC) has increased its full-year 2025 earnings guidance, forecasting adjusted EBITDA of at least €195 million, well ahead of earlier analyst expectations. The upgrade follows stronger-than-anticipated trading during the second half of the year, supported primarily by robust performance across the United States and Mexico.
Despite ongoing industry challenges, including higher gambling taxes in certain regions such as the UK, Playtech said strong revenue growth across the Americas is accelerating returns on recent strategic investments. The company believes this regional strength supports confidence in its outlook for 2026 and its medium-term financial targets.
Playtech continues to target adjusted EBITDA of between €250 million and €300 million, alongside projected free cash flow of €70 million to €100 million over the medium term. The company said the improved outlook reflects its ongoing strategy of focusing on regulated gambling markets and expanding its presence in high-growth jurisdictions across the Americas.
From an investment perspective, Playtech benefits from supportive valuation metrics and positive corporate developments that could enhance shareholder value. While financial performance trends show improving potential, revenue growth consistency and profitability remain areas to monitor. Technical indicators currently point to favourable trading momentum, although elevated readings suggest the possibility of short-term overbought conditions.
