Fund Manager Summary
The fund managers believe that Light & Wonder Inc. presents a strong investment opportunity, particularly given its position as a global leader in cross-platform games and entertainment. In their opinion, the company's solid financial performance and impressive machine sales across all regions underscore its market potential. They highlight the strategic divestment of non-core assets and a focus on digital growth as key factors that have strengthened its balance sheet. Furthermore, management's confidence in achieving FY25 financial targets with a required 14% growth in Adjusted EBITDA reflects a positive growth outlook. The fund managers are particularly optimistic about gaming operations driving this growth, with anticipated market share gains in North America and potential sales leadership in Australia. Overall, they see Light & Wonder as a compelling value aligned with their investment strategy focused on quality growth opportunities.

Summary
- QVG Capital notes that Light & Wonder’s recent share price slump was short-lived, marking it as one of their best performers in November.
- The prior share price weakness was attributed to fundamental factors like modest earnings growth and litigation overhangs from Aristocrat.
- Technical factors included the NASDAQ exit, which forced passive fund selling.
- With the negative technical catalyst now resolved and a significant buy-back in progress, LNW has shown recovery.
- QVG Capital believes LNW benefits from a highly aligned board and management with best-in-class capital allocation.
- The strengthening game pipeline further supports their outlook.
- The Grover acquisition enhances the group’s reach in charitable gaming.
- There remains a valuation gap to Aristocrat that is still wider than the Vegas Strip.
