Across Europe stock markets are mostly doing better than the FTSE 100 in London.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 gained 0.2%. Germany’s Dax index was up 0.4%, while France’s Cac 40 rose 0.2%. Italy’s FTSE MIB rose 0.5%.

I am pleased with Entain’s start to 2026 with strong momentum and volume growth continuing as well as strong player engagement across the group throughout the World Cup tournament.
