Paddy Power owner Flutter is to switch its primary stock market listing to New York in another significant blow to the London stock exchange.
Flutter Entertainment, which also owns Betfair and PokerStars, confirmed that a vast majority of shareholders voted in favour of the move at its annual general meeting on Wednesday morning. The company, which was previously called Paddy Power Betfair, currently has a primary stock market listing in London and gained an additional New York stock market listing at the start of the year.
The firm has rapidly expanded in the US in recent years through its FanDuel sportsbook business as a raft of states have loosened their gambling restrictions.The switch is now expected to complete by the end of May after the vote gained shareholder backing. The move will give the company a chance to be included in the big US indices, but means it will now be removed from London’s FTSE indices.It also comes after travel firm Tui dropped its London listing in favour of listing only in Germany earlier this year, while building supplies firm CRH also recently moved its main listing to the US.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
