What Genius Sports does

Provides official sports data, streaming and integrity monitoring services to sports leagues and sportsbooks worldwide.

Pays leagues for exclusive rights to distribute official game data, then resells that feed to sportsbooks, which use it to set live odds and settle bets. Betting-operator contracts carry the business, with media and advertising services sold to the same operators growing alongside. League deals run several years, so renewals matter.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
