March 6 (Reuters) - Activist investor Parvus Asset Management doubled its stake in FanDuel-owner Flutter Entertainment on Friday, becoming the second-largest shareholder in the firm, according to data compiled by LSEG.
The hedge fund increased its stake in Flutter to 10.7%, a filing showed, from its previous stake of 5.1%.
Parvus did not disclose a reason behind the stake increase and did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
Flutter, the world's largest online betting firm, forecast 2026 profit growth far below expectations last month due to challenges in its main U.S. market compounded by misfiring attempts to win customers over with promotions and bonuses.
Cayman Islands-based billionaire investor Kenneth Dart is Flutter's top shareholder with a 18.63% stake, according to LSEG-compiled data.
