Flutter Entertainment plc (FLUT) has announced its total voting rights as of July 31, 2025, with 176,075,077 ordinary shares in issue, each carrying one vote. This figure is crucial for determining if shareholders need to notify their interest or any changes in their interest under the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules [1].

The company, based in New York, USA, reported that the total number of ordinary shares in issue stands at 176,075,077, with a nominal value of €0.09 each. The announcement was made in accordance with DTR 5.6.1 of the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules [1].

The confirmation is important for shareholders as it provides the denominator for calculating their interest in the company. It is a standard practice for companies to disclose this information to ensure transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements.

This announcement follows recent strategic acquisitions and partnerships, including Flutter's full acquisition of FanDuel, which has been valued at approximately $31 billion. The acquisition is expected to save Flutter about $65 million annually in market access costs starting July 2025 [2].

Despite the recent acquisition, Flutter Entertainment continues to face potential future changes in ownership due to an option held by Fox Corporation. Fox has the option to buy an 18.6% stake in FanDuel, which could shift ownership in the future. The option is based on FanDuel's market valuation as of December 2020, with a 5% annual increase baked in [2].

In the options market, Flutter Entertainment's stock has seen high levels of implied volatility, with the Sept. 19, 2025 $320.00 Put option having some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today [3]. This suggests that investors are expecting significant movement in the stock, possibly due to upcoming events or changes in the company's strategic direction.

Investors should pay close attention to these developments as they may impact the company's financial performance and shareholder value. The company's total voting rights announcement is a step towards maintaining transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements.
