Jumbo Interactive Ltd (ASX: JIN)

The Jumbo Interactive share price is $9.91, up 2.2% on Friday.

This ASX 300 gaming share has fallen 14.2% over the past 12 months.

Jumbo Interactive reported revenue of $85.3 million, up 29%, and total transaction value of $524.1 million, up 15.6%, for 1H FY26.

Underlying EBITDA climbed 22.6% to $37.5 million, and underlying net profit after tax (NPAT) increased 22.6% to $22.8 million.

Statutory NPAT was $15.5 million, down 13.4%.

Jumbo Interactive shares will pay a fully-franked interim dividend of 12 cents per share.

Morgans maintained its buy rating on the ASX 300 gaming share, commenting:

Jumbo Interactive (JIN) reported a solid 1H26 result, with most headline metrics pre-released.

While Lottery Retailing was impacted by a softer jackpot cycle, offshore segments delivered encouraging growth and margin expansion.

Managed Services continues to build momentum, with Canada EBITDA guidance upgraded and the UK tracking nicely.

Underlying SaaS trends remain healthy ex-Lotterywest.

Following the update, we believe JIN can delever by FY27F, assuming a normalisation in Australian jackpot activity and continued offshore earnings growth.

The broker kept its 12-month share price target unchanged at $14.90.

Tabcorp Holdings Ltd (ASX: TAH)

The Tabcorp share price is $1.07, up 3.9% on Friday.

This ASX 300 gaming share has soared 47.9% over the past 12 months.

Tabcorp smashed expectations with a 61.5% increase in NPAT (before significant items) to $35.7 million for 1H FY26.

This led to a 21.3% surge in the Tabcorp share price on the day.

Group revenue was $1,344.9 million, up 1% year over year, and EBITDA (before significant items) was $217.4 million, up 14.3%.

Tabcorp shares will pay an unfranked interim dividend of 1.5 cents per share, up 50% on last year.

After reviewing the numbers, Morgans maintained its accumulate rating on this ASX 300 gaming share.

The broker said:

Tabcorp Holdings (TAH) reported a very strong 1H26 result, with resilient turnover, improved margins and disciplined cost control driving double-digit EBITDA growth despite a softer wagering yield environment through the Spring Carnival and Footy Finals period.

New and exclusive products resonated well, particularly with younger cohorts, with digital turnover among 18-24 year olds up +14%.

The broker increased its 12-month price target on Tabcorp shares from $1.07 to $1.20.
