Upturn Advisory & Investor View for SBET

09/25/2026: SBET (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

SharpLink Gaming is a technology-focused company providing conversion solutions for the sports betting and iGaming industry. Its primary strength lies in its proprietary technology designed to convert sports media audiences into active bettors for operators. The main investment story centers on the continued growth of legal sports betting and the scalability of its tech platform. However, risks include high operational costs, dependence on a few key partners, and stiff competition from larger, well-funded affiliate firms. Investors should monitor quarterly progress on cash management and new partnership sign-ups, as the company remains an early-stage growth play with high volatility and no current dividend yield.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
SBET receives a 2-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and soft analyst coverage.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SBET has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong revenue growth (+666.0%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-7373.4%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -62.3%), soft profitability (net margin -2618.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SBET's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 210.0% of revenue). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is SBET's strongest growth driver at +666.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+23.4%, solid) is also solid, while earnings growth (-7373.4%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 51.6% and approximately 87.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 7.40% supports management-shareholder alignment.

FMR Inc 8.55%
UBS Group AG 2.22%
Citadel Advisors Llc 1.91%
ParaFi Capital LP 1.80%
Alyeska Investment Group, L.P. 1.79%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
SBET generates approximately $932 of gross profit, $-1,167 of operating income, and $-623 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -0.14% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
SBET has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
