Flutter Raises $1 Billion of Capital as Fox Boosts Investment
(Bloomberg) -- Flutter Entertainment Plc, the world’s biggest online gambling company, has raised money through an investment from Fox Corp. to take advantage of opportunities presented by the pandemic.Flutter, which owns the Paddy Power, Poker Stars and Sky Bet brands, said in a statement Friday it placed 8.05 million new shares at a 4.7% discount to Thursday’s closing price, raising 812 million pounds ($1 billion). Flutter shares fell 2.9% at 8:04 a.m. in London.“COVID-19 will likely result in a faster rate of US sports betting legalization, potentially followed by online casino legalization,” James Wheatcroft, equity analyst at Jefferies, said in a note. “This placing positions Flutter to take advantage of the enlarged market opportunity.”Fox is investing because it is “bullish about the the opportunities in the digital sports wagering market,” Lachlan Murdoch, Chief Executive Officer at Fox, said in a statement, which did not reveal how much Fox would invest.There has been a flurry of share sales this week, with almost $5 billion announced after the close of trading Tuesday as large investors take advantage of rebounding indexes to offload stakes, and as companies attempt to shore up cash balances amid the coronavirus crisis.Flutter agreed to buy Toronto-based The Stars Group Inc. in October in a $6 billion all-share deal to take advantage of opportunities in the U.S. after the Supreme Court legalized sports betting.While Flutter had a U.S. presence -- it owns the FanDuel fantasy sports site -- prior to the Stars deal, almost half its revenue came from Britain, where tighter rules on fixed-odds betting terminals and higher taxes for online betting have upended the industry.“Faster deleveraging and firepower to compete more aggressively against weakened competitors are further material benefits,” Jefferies’ Wheatcroft wrote.(Adds share price, analyst comment)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Walmart to Sell Vudu Streaming Service to Comcast’s Fandango
(Bloomberg) -- Walmart Inc. will sell its Vudu streaming platform to Comcast Corp.’s Fandango, giving up on efforts to be an online-video giant like Amazon.com Inc.Fandango, which vends movie tickets and streams movies, will maintain the Vudu site and preserve users’ film and TV libraries, according to a statement Monday announcing the deal. Terms weren’t disclosed.Walmart acquired Vudu in 2010, trying to adapt to a shift away from DVDs. But the retailer has struggled to turn the service into its own version of Amazon’s Prime Video -- despite it being available on millions of TVs and other devices.Comcast’s acquisition of Vudu marks the third recent takeover of a streaming business by a media giant. Viacom, now part of ViacomCBS Inc., purchased the Pluto TV service for $340 million last year, and Fox Corp. agreed to buy the Tubi platform for $440 million last month.“Vudu will continue to deliver an amazing experience, and we promise that the future will bring more new features, offerings, and other benefits as we join the Fandango family,” Vudu said in the statement.Doubling DownWith Fandango bringing on Vudu, Comcast is doubling down on streaming this month. The owner of NBCUniversal just launched a service called Peacock to some of its pay-TV customers, with the rest of the country getting access in the coming months.Vudu began as a hardware company before becoming a digital storage locker for people who bought films electronically or on DVD. The company also offers movie rentals and the ability to stream films with ads, even promoting some as not available on Netflix.Fandango is most prominently an online seller of tickets for movie theaters, but the company has been broadening its offerings in recent years. It acquired M-Go, an online movie rental and purchase service that it rebranded as Fandango Now, and Rotten Tomatoes, which aggregates movie reviews from critics and the general public.Fandango Now’s rental and purchase service focuses on movies that have just finished their run in theaters.Vudu said the two services will be available separately for now, with customers still able to access their Vudu libraries through Walmart.com and devices such as Roku. “In the months ahead, we will explore ways to bring great online entertainment experiences to our valued customers,” the streaming service said.(Updates with company history beginning in seventh paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.
