Share price: EUR 8,75 There seemed to be zero trading today in this EUR 3,7 billion market cap company?? I bought 1 share at EUR 8,75. 




















Revenue is EUR 4b of which 1b sports betting which is growing at 20% a year.  3b entertainment. 

Not really profitable? and book value is slightly negative. 


Debt seems to have increased.

FL Entertainment N.V. proposed dividend for the financial year 2022 of €0.36 per share, representing a 49% payout ratio on Adjusted net income. It will be paid fully in cash and will be submitted for approval to the Annual General Meeting on 15 June 2023."

EUR 0,36/EUR 8,70 share price = 4% 

Too difficult pile.
