1.b. Last Insights on SRAD

Sportradar Group AG's recent performance was negatively impacted by its Q3 earnings miss, with quarterly earnings of $0.08 per share, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.1 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.12 per share a year ago. The company's earnings call highlighted a challenging quarter. Despite being named 2025 American Gambling Awards Data Service Provider of the Year, the stock faced downward pressure. Its partnership with Underdog to enhance player protection and responsible gaming may not have offset the earnings disappointment.

Regulatory Environment and Prediction Markets

The company is actively involved in discussions around the regulation of online sports betting in the US, with a focus on creating a fair balance between competing interests. Carsten Koerl, CEO, notes that online sportsbooks want equal competition, and the current situation is leading to a classification of some sports betting as "illegal." The company believes a clear regulatory framework is needed, including rules on player protection, responsible gaming, and sports integrity.

With a P/E Ratio of 54.41 and an EV/EBITDA of 10.34, the market seems to be pricing in a significant growth premium. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 20.8%. The company's strong liquidity position, with EUR 360 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt outstanding, provides a solid foundation for future investments and share repurchases. The Board has approved a EUR 100 million increase to the share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to EUR 300 million.
