Evolution AB stock sinks 3% in Stockholm as traders eye Feb. 5 results, Galaxy deal

Stockholm, Jan 14, 2026, 13:18 CET — Regular session

Shares of Evolution AB slip roughly 3%, approaching their 52-week low in midday trading
The drop occurs while European equities remain close to record highs
Investors are zeroing in on the full-year report due Feb. 5, along with the 2026 outlook

Evolution AB (publ) shares dipped on Wednesday, marking the stock as one of the laggards in Stockholm’s trading session, despite gains across wider European markets.

Evolution slipped 3.1% to 592.6 Swedish crowns, hitting a low of 585.2 earlier—matching its 52-week trough, per market data. (Investing)

The stock is under renewed pressure ahead of the company’s full-year results, set to drop in three weeks. Investors will be watching closely for clues on live casino demand and how quickly the U.S. rollout is progressing.

Risk appetite was firmer across the region, with global shares hovering close to record levels. This environment put the spotlight on individual stock action, like that of Evolution. “People are very positive towards equities,” said Ben Laidler, head of equity strategy at Bradesco BBI, in comments to Reuters.

Evolution creates live dealer casino games aimed at gambling operators. It operates on a business-to-business (B2B) model, selling its products to casinos and betting companies instead of directly to players.

Evolution will release its 2025 year-end report on Feb. 5 at 0730 CET, as listed in its financial calendar. (Evolution)

The company last highlighted its capital returns in December, announcing it had wrapped up its share buyback program after purchasing 133,140 shares on Dec. 8. (Cision News)

Investors are keeping an eye on a pending U.S. deal. In November, Evolution and Galaxy Gaming pushed their merger “outside date” to July 17, 2026, with remaining regulatory approvals expected in Q1 2026. (Galaxy Gaming, Inc.)

Evolution is also facing U.S. litigation over an anonymous report concerning its operations. In October, the company revealed plans to name Playtech as a defendant. The case is expected to drag on through 2026. (Cision News)

Bulls face a risk if the Feb. 5 report reveals a weaker outlook, be it from slower revenue gains, squeezed margins, or hold-ups in regulatory approvals related to deals and market access.

Traders will be watching to see if the stock can stay above its 52-week low today. The next key checkpoint arrives on Feb. 5, when Evolution reports full-year results and updates its outlook for 2026.

January 14, 2026, 10:00 AM EST. U.S. stocks drifted lower on Wednesday as investors parsed a wave of earnings reported ahead of the release of the U.S. wholesale price index (PPI). The focus was on inflation risk as the data, due later in the session, could influence Fed policy expectations. Major indices slipped while traders balanced company results with the prospect of higher prices squeezing margins. Banks and retailers reported results that were generally better than feared, offering some support, but caution persisted. Traders said the market is balancing solid earnings with a warning sign from inflation gauges, keeping volatility elevated.
