(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Shares are on the rise Lottomatica Group is among the top performers on the Milan Stock Exchange. The share is benefiting from the strong performance of the gaming market. The Customs and Monopolies Agency has published figures relating to online casinos (iGaming) for the month of July 2026. Gross gaming revenue (GGR) stood at 304 million, up 15 per cent. Lottomatica confirmed its position as market leader with a 31.1 per cent share (32.4 per cent, including the minority-owned subsidiaries Sportbet and Bgame). According to analysts at Intermonte, who have an ‘outperform’ rating on the stock and a target price of 31.2 euros, ‘the July figures confirmed the continuation of the mid-teens growth trend in the iGaming market (GGR +15%, +16% YTD). Based on market share, we estimate that Lottomatica’s GGR grew by around 18% during the month. This figure is consistent with our estimate of +19% GGR growth in the second half of 2026 for the Online division (iGaming, approximately 80%, and iSport)”.
According to analysts at Banca Akros, the figures provided by the agency are “a solid result when compared with the +14.2 per cent in June and the +15.6 per cent recorded in July last year. We estimate that Lottomatica’s GGR has increased by around 18%’. In detail, according to the experts Lottomatica’s market share stood at 31.1%, up from 30.9% in June, “but slightly below the average of 31.4% recorded in the first half of 2026. The lead over the second-placed operator, Flutter (including Snaitech), stood at 3.4 percentage points’. Given that the Online Casino (iGaming) segment accounts for well over 56 per cent of Lottomatica’s total expected turnover in 2026, “the growth rates and market shares recorded in July remain solid and exceed our forecasts for the second half of 2026, which had indicated growth of 13 per cent. We therefore consider the figures released to be positive.” Akros confirms its ‘Buy’ rating and its target price for the share at €32.
