Sun International

Sun International reports 7.4% revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA of around ZAR 1.6bn (+2%) in the first half of 2026, driven by strong growth at SunBet (+35.5% to ZAR 1.2bn) and a return to growth at land-based casinos. The interim dividend was increased by 7.6% to ZAR 1.85, and the share rose modestly after the release. Margin pressure from high investment and inflation reduces the adjusted EBITDA margin to 24.1%, and free cash flow conversion at 47.1% is below the target corridor. Management says the second half has started strongly and views the digital strategy and investments as drivers of further operational leverage. » Więcej na de.investing.com
