RBC Capital Markets supports IG Group's recent acquisition of Underdog, dismissing the market's sharp selloff as an overreaction focused too much on regulatory risks. The deal significantly expands IG's US presence, increasing customer numbers tenfold and more than doubling US revenues, with 25% of pro forma revenue from daily fantasy sports and prediction markets. RBC highlights the attractive valuation paid and notes that half the deal's value depends on earnings, which mitigates regulatory uncertainty expected to be resolved by the US Supreme Court within 24 months. Management plans to leverage the upcoming NFL season for customer growth, with a shift to profitability expected in 2027. RBC maintains an outperform rating and a 1,850p price target, implying 39% upside from current levels.
