AI Analysis
AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.
I look at Brightstar Lottery first as a Graham-style earnings and asset question. It sells and operates lottery point-of-sale machines, transaction systems, and instant tickets, with 5,746 employees. In the latest filed quarter, fiscal Q2 2026, revenue was $584.0 million and net income $33.0 million, a 5.65% net margin. That is positive, but not fat. The supplied growth figures show a near-flat top line and much faster profit growth, so I would not assume durable expansion. FairStock calculations from the 2026-10-13 close of $9.96 show a P/E of 10.48, P/B of 2.17, EV/EBITDA of 5.35, and PEG of 0.28. The Graham Number is $9.93, leaving a margin of safety of -0.30%, so the price sits near Graham's rough value. The 9.04% dividend yield is attractive only if covered. Here I pause: trailing free cash flow was -$2.2 billion, a -95.0% FCF yield, and debt-to-equity is 2.19. Altman Z-score 0.30 and ROCE 3.92% suggest weak financial resilience. ROE 15.18% is good, and Piotroski 6/9 is middling. FairStock Score 45/100 and no Lynch category because only 0 years of filed results exist and 3 are needed. The lottery business may have sticky contracts with authorities, but the numbers show modest growth, high leverage, and negative free cash flow. I would want evidence that cash generation turns positive and the dividend is sustainable before calling this a bargain.
In plain English: Brightstar Lottery makes and runs machines, systems, and tickets for lotteries. In its latest reported quarter it made a profit, but it is not generating cash overall and carries a lot of debt, so the financial picture is mixed. At $9.96 a share, the price looks roughly in line with the company's basic numbers rather than clearly cheap or expensive.
