Morningstar | Earnings Stability Should Improve With Larger Contribution From Leased Machines and Digital Gaming

Aristocrat Leisure has many positive attributes, including a global portfolio of licences to manufacture electronic gaming machines and develop gaming content, a broad suite of products, and strong intellectual property built up since the 1950s. However, the investment case is not without risks, with intense competition and susceptibility to swings in game popularity, gambler taste, customer venue finances, and regulatory regimes all having the potential to substantially affect earnings. There are also secular uncertainties on the horizon as a result of the ageing profile of traditional pokies machine patrons and potential disruptions from social/online gaming. Management must grapple with these trends at a time when some of its competitors are becoming much larger through consolidation, including Aristocrat Leisure itself via its 2014 USD 1.3 billion acquisition of Video Gaming Technologies.
