James Wheatcroft has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight an improving valuation story and balance sheet profile. He views the sale of a 20% stake in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) business at roughly a 10x EV/EBITDA multiple, compared with Entain’s own sub‑7x trading multiple, as clear evidence that parts of the group are worth materially more than the current market price implies.

This transaction supports his existing sum‑of‑the‑parts valuation around £10.00 per share and, in his view, should prompt investors to reassess the embedded value in Entain’s assets. He also points to the appointment of a new CFO as a sign of a more pragmatic stance on value realisation, the strategic upside from replicable technology within the group’s joint ventures, and reaffirmed guidance through FY26E, all of which underpin his unchanged $1000 price target and Buy recommendation.

In another report released on June 13, Citi also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a £10.50 price target.
