Evolution AB's shares have recently fallen due to a combination of regulatory factors and market perception:Research by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC): The UKGC has initiated a review of the operating license of Evolution Malta Holding Limited, a subsidiary of Evolution AB. This is due to concerns about the accessibility of its games in the UK through operators that are not licensed by the UKGC.Fear of penalties or loss of license: Although only about 3% of Evolution's revenue comes from the UK, the market reacted strongly to the possibility of sanctions, fines, or even license revocation. This led to a drop of up to 12% in share value, marking its lowest level in three years.Analyst perception: Some analysts, such as those from Pareto Securities, believe that the market's reaction has been exaggerated.
