Entain did not provide any information about the amount of a possible bid. It is also not certain whether there will be a formal command at all. According to information from “CNBC”, the volume of the bid should amount to around 20 billion US dollars (the equivalent of 17 billion euros). Entain shares soared 18 percent.
According to the Bloomberg news agency database, there are currently just under 587 million Entain shares. In a $ 20 billion offer, a share in Entain would therefore be valued at almost 2500 pence, with the valuation depending on the share share of the offer and the development of the Draftkings paper.
The US broadcaster’s report boosted other gambling stocks. The papers of the potential buyer Draftkings, on the other hand, temporarily fell by more than five percent in New York. Draftkings most recently had a market capitalization of just over $ 21 billion.
