Playtech highlights 'very strong' start to 2026

By Michele Maatouk

Date: Wednesday 20 May 2026

LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Gambling software development company Playtech hailed a "very strong" start to 2026 on Wednesday, with particular strength in the Americas.
In an update on trading for the period from 1 January to end of April, the company said the stronger-than-expected performance in the Americas that was flagged in its full-year results in March has continued.

Playtech said it achieved an "excellent" trading performance for the first four months of the year, driven by continued strength in the US, Mexico and certain European markets as well as a solid performance in Live, as returns on investments in recent years accelerate.

Chief executive Mor Weizer said the company's partnership with Caliente Interactive in Mexico continues to perform strongly, with the upcoming World Cup representing a significant opportunity to further strengthen Caliente's leadership position in the market.

"Despite the ongoing sector headwinds, the combination of Playtech's strong expansion in regulated markets, diversified footprint, highly scalable technology and deep partner relationships, leaves the group well positioned to capture the significant market opportunity ahead," he said.
