Brightstar Lottery: A $3 Dividend, A $500M Buyback, And One Very Bright Star

  • Brightstar Lottery has reduced debt, secured a major Italian license, and issued a $3 special dividend, unlocking significant shareholder value. Despite mixed Q2 results due to fewer U.S. jackpots, global instant product sales and strong free cash flow highlight resilient core operations. The company's $500 million buyback program and high dividend yield drive an impressive projected shareholder yield of 11.7%-13.3% for FY25.
