DAVY VIEW

Favourable sporting results have helped drive a significant beat versus expectations at William Hill. Expected FY19 operating profit of £143-148m is c.12% ahead of consensus expectations at the mid-point (13.5% versus Davy). More encouragingly, the scale and pace of the US market ramp-up also appear to be resulting in better-than-expected regional economics. Offsetting this progress, the CFO’s decision to depart should be viewed disappointingly in our view.
