LNW Stock Forecast & Price Target
LNW Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Light & Wonder has reported a significant increase in systems revenue for 4Q24, reaching US$88 million, which represents a 24% year-over-year growth, driven by strong market demand for its hardware and software contracts. The company is experiencing steady growth in its SciPlay division, with direct-to-consumer penetration rising to 13%, and expected ongoing improvements in the coming years as it aims to leverage its R&D and content expertise to boost same-store sales and market position. Additionally, the North American installed gaming base has shown resilience by achieving its 18th consecutive quarter of growth, indicating a strong operational performance that supports positive forecasts for EBITDA growth between 8% to 13%.
Bears say
The negative outlook on Light & Wonder's stock can be attributed to a decline in outright sales, particularly international sales which dropped by 51% year-over-year, indicating weaker market performance and cash conversion capabilities compared to gaming operations. Additionally, the company does not anticipate any significant growth from the iGaming segment in 2025, suggesting limited revenue expansion opportunities in the near term. The presence of earnings downgrades combined with a weaker earnings momentum further indicates overall market skepticism towards the company's financial performance moving forward.
