The shift would likely make Flutter ineligible for inclusion on FTSE indexes. The company, which is worth £28.9bn, debuted its shares on the NYSE on Monday.

Philips Slides as Order Drop Raises Doubts Over Sales Growth
Royal Philips NVs order intake has dropped for a fifth consecutive quarter due to lower demand in China, partly due to a corruption probe in the countrys healthcare sector. This has led to a 9% fall in new orders in the three months through September. The company is also dealing with a costly recall of faulty sleep therapy devices, which has led to class-action and individual lawsuits. Despite these challenges, Philips expects revenue to rise by 6% to 7% this year. The companys shares dropped as much as 5.3% in Amsterdam.

This move is in addition to a previous cut announced by the company last October, in which the company laid off 4,000 employees, mostly in the US and the Netherlands. In total, about 10,000 people will be laid off, which is about 13% before the start of the layoff waves.
