Playtech

Playtech shares climbed 18.8% to 380.4 pence, reaching their highest level since the start of the year despite no official announcement as of the time of reporting. The move follows strong early-2026 trading figures and improved revenues in the US, Mexico and Europe, and the view that investments in North and South America are now delivering returns. Analysts including Deutsche Bank and Citi had previously maintained "buy" ratings with price targets well above the prior trading level. The rise is seen as company-specific rather than an industry-wide trend; the stock remains below its 52-week high of 446 pence. » Plus sur de.investing.com
