Berenberg said Flutter had delivered Q3 results that were "significantly above expectations", with FY24 guidance much better than anticipated.
"We were expecting a beat at Q3, but the one delivered was well ahead of our expectations and broad-based across divisions," said Berenberg.
Furthermore, the German bank noted that the market had anticipated a downgrade to Flutter's US underlying earnings from sports results but highlighted that the actual downgrade was smaller, while ex-US guidance was upgraded.
Berenberg, which has a 'buy' rating on the stock, stated that on a headline price-to-earnings basis, Flutter trades on 30.2x for a "solid" 41.4% earnings per share compound annual growth rate.
