Playtech shares jumped 3.42% on Tuesday after the gaming‑technology company lifted its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to a level above €300 million, surpassing current analyst consensus estimates. The company said trading between 1 July and 31 October was ahead of expectations, with continued momentum in the Americas, and that the partnership with Hard Rock Digital on Past Motor Racing (PMR) products contributed significantly to the upgraded outlook. Playtech was first to market with PMR in the first half of 2026 and reported strong revenue performance in the second half. However, the firm noted that additional third‑party PMR suppliers are entering the market and are expected to erode its market share in 2027. Recent political and regulatory changes in Brazil will affect results; Playtech expects to absorb a three‑month impact on adjusted EBITDA in 2026 but anticipates a larger effect in 2027 if the market shutdown persists. The company is also managing the impact of an increased Remote Gaming Duty introduced in the United Kingdom in April 2026, with the full‑year effect and higher taxation in other European markets projected to weigh on 2027 earnings. CEO Mor Weizer said US performance remained strong through the Hard Rock Digital partnership, supporting profitability and cash flow, and that Mexico and Colombia saw increased activity following the Men’s FIFA World Cup.
