CJ39, good luck with your investment here! If it does well at least you can make a profit and have the bragging rights.
In my view though, Evoke and Entain are not an apples for apples comparison.
Entain is a diversified global operator; Evoke is a heavily UK-exposed turnaround with a balance sheet that's been stretched to breaking point.
Entain's scale gives it pricing power, regulatory insulation, and strategic optionality.
Evoke's equity is a thin sliver, sitting beneath a mountain of DEBT, regulatory baggage, and integration hangovers.
Pretending they deserve similar valuations ignores the structural reality: one is a global platform, the other is a distressed asset fighting for stability. Investors aren't mispricing Evoke - they're pricing the risk that it doesn't make it to the other side for existing shareholders!
