Outperform

$180.00

29.06%

Light & Wonder reconfirmed its FY25 EBITDA target of $1.4bn in its 3Q25 results. The company's revenues came in slightly lower than Macquarie's forecast by -1%, with EBITDA 2% better than estimated.

Gaming continued to show momentum, the installed base increased by almost 600 units, 31% growth in North American shipments, and 13.1k unit sales.

Macquarie notes the North American installed base has grown for 17 consecutive quarters and the company held the number one ship share in 3Q25.

The broker notes iGaming grew 4% for the quarter and suggests growth prospects remain strong with US state legislation and new content.

Management replaced or converted 95% of the approximately 2.2k Dragon Train units in North America.

The Outperform rating remains unchanged. Changes to FX assumptions lift the target price to $180 from $169.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 325.00 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 607.00 cents.

Buy

$173.00

24.04%

Jarden highlights Light & Wonder delivered a slightly lower-than-expected Q3 earnings (AEBITDA) of US$319m, impacted by restructuring and other charges, though North American market share gains remain strong.

The company reaffirmed its FY25 earnings target of US$1.4bn and introduced profit NPATA guidance between US$565m–635m, supporting the broker’s view of resilience in Light & Wonder's core Gaming Ops and Social Casino segments.

Despite lower revenue-per-day in Gaming Ops, driven partly by product mix adjustments, Jarden sees long-term growth prospects due to strong customer demand for new games and expansions into adjacent markets.

The broker revises AEBITDA and EPS down by an average of -0.1% and -8.1% over FY24-26 to reflect recent adjustments but considers the company well-positioned to deliver profitable growth into FY25.

The target price decreases to $173 from $174, and the Buy rating is maintained.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 377.70 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 573.30 cents.
