One day earlier, on August 7, JPMorgan downgraded Light & Wonder from Overweight to Neutral and lowered its price target from $108 to $95. JPMorgan analysts expressed concern about the company’s ability to meet its full-year 2025 EBITDA target through organic growth alone. The updated guidance includes EBITDA contributions from a recent acquisition. To hit the midpoint of that target, Light & Wonder would need to grow EBITDA by about 15% in the second half of 2025, a noticeable acceleration from its reported growth of 11% in Q1 and 7% in Q2. The firm also flagged uncertainty around free cash flow and leverage.
