“International Game Technology (IGT) is about to change their name to Brightstar Lottery (BRSL) on the closing of their deal with Apollo and Everi Holdings (EVRI), rumored to happen this week. Brightstar "won" the Italian Lotto rebid that includes a 2.23 million Euro upfront fee, significantly higher than many expected. We should find out more detailed capital return plans in the near future, which might spark a longer update from me including revisions to my valuation thinking after the Italian lotto bid and better accounting for the non-controlling interests. BSD Analysis: International Game Technology PLC (IGT) IGT is a capital return powerhouse in the global gambling technology sector, simplifying its business to maximize shareholder yield following the strategic spin-off and sale of its large global gaming and digital assets. The investment is a pure bet on the structural dominance of its Global Lottery segment, which is a high-margin, long-term contractual annuity business that provides superior revenue visibility and cash flow stability. The primary catalyst is the successful execution of the planned split, which will eliminate the conglomerate discount and leave behind a clean, defensible lottery business with a transparent, aggressive dividend and capital return policy. IGT is a value-driven play on a necessary, recurring government service that is protected by regulatory moats.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
