The debt should be quite easily manageable for 888
Interest rates are near the peak now and will soon be falling again
Entain has about £3 billion of debt, and it is valued at about 2x Revenue
Flutter has about £5 billion of debt, and it is valued at about 3x Revenue
888 is currently valued at about 0.15x Revenue
If 888 was valued the same as Entain, the 888 share price would be between about £8 and £10
If 888 was valued the same as Flutter, the 888 share price would be between about £12 and £15
It will probably take a few years for 888 to trade at similar levels but a valuation of 1x Revenue for 888 would seem to be reasonable
This would give a fair valuation for 888 of about £5
888 have also forecast over 35p eps for 2025, and assuming a PE of about 14, this also gives a fair valuation for 888 of about £5
