Aristocrat Leisure shares fell nearly 13% after its half-year results came in below analyst expectations. Despite reporting a 9% increase in revenue and a 6% rise in net profit, the results disappointed investors, erasing much of the stock’s recent gains. The company remains optimistic about second-half momentum and ongoing buybacks.123
