The sports technology provider reported a 19 percent rise in second-quarter revenue while reducing its full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA forecasts amid continued foreign-exchange and cost pressures. Over in Jeju, Dream Tower generated $36.1 million in July casino sales, its second-highest monthly result, while Lotte Tour prepares to repay $30.4 million under a bondholder’s put option. Macau may also regain momentum, with CLSA projecting 1.3 percent GGR growth in August following the World Cup disruption.

Sportradar lowers 2026 forecasts after Q2 revenue shortfall

The revision came despite second-quarter revenue rising 19 percent and adjusted EBITDA increasing 19.5 percent.
