Lottomatica Joins STOXX Europe 600 After Year of Rapid Growth

Lottomatica Group S.p.A., one of Italy’s leading gaming and betting companies, has officially joined the STOXX Europe 600 Index, effective with the opening of markets on June 23. This development marks the culmination of an incredible transformation for the company, which has seen its stock more than double over the past year.

Lottomatica’s Shares Have Excelled

The inclusion in the STOXX Europe 600, a key benchmark tracking 600 of Europe’s top publicly listed firms, marks a significant milestone for Lottomatica as the company continues to exceed expectations on operational and financial levels. This notable achievement places the company among Europe’s most influential stocks and should draw substantial attention from global institutional investors.

Lottomatica’s journey leading up to its inclusion is a testament to the company’s resilience in the face of adversity. When it debuted on the Euronext Milan in May 2023, it faced tepid investor appetite. Shares opened below their €9 ($10.25) offering price and dipped nearly 8% on the first day. However, Lottomatica persevered, and the results speak for themselves.

By mid-2025, Lottomatica’s valuation rested around €22.70 ($25.84), a 168% increase compared to the start of the IPO. Robust revenue growth, profitability, and impressive operational discipline were some of the primary drivers behind this stellar performance. In the past year alone, the stock has risen over 100%, underscoring Lottomatica’s improving attractiveness to investors.

The Company Will Pursue Sustained Growth

Lottomatica’s 2024 performance was crucial in enhancing investor confidence. The group achieved €2 billion ($2.28 billion) in annual revenue, a 22% year-on-year increase. It also delivered an adjusted EBITDA of €739 million ($841.25 million), surpassing projections and consolidating its leadership position in Italy’s online gaming and sports betting markets.

CEO Guglielmo Angelozzi announced that Lottomatica’s focus in 2025 will be sustained expansion across all verticals and accelerating the shift to digital, particularly through its omnichannel strategy. The company also addressed investor concerns by announcing a planned share buyback and dividend payment, demonstrating its long-term confidence.

Membership in the STOXX Europe 600 offers more than just prestige. It can unlock fresh capital inflows, especially from funds and ETFs that mirror the index. With solid fundamentals and a clearly defined growth plan, Lottomatica is well-prepared to deal with broader industry challenges and retain its position as one of Europe’s rising gambling sector players.
