Jamie Murray DraftKings DKNG-Q COMMENT Sep 04, 2020

Sports betting markets in the US are expected to have great growth. More and more states will legalize this. The industry characteristics are very favourable. The stock has performed well. It's expensive and it rests on states legalizing and sustained high growth.

You might be interested:

BUY

The spend on sports betting remains significant.

WEAK BUY

Has a very good product and he likes it, but wants to see them operating in more states.

BUY

Shares have been on fire. You want to own this heading into football season. It was upgraded today. The CEO is delivering.

BUY

He recommended this where shares were worth half. Taylor Swift is attracting new female fans to the NFL and to betting, so that's a tailwind. However, the PE is no longer cheap.

WAIT

Wait until they report on May, because shares have gone up so much. Be cautious.

TOP PICK

Historically, stock does well in football season from now until the Super Bowl. Not a long-term, core holding. Get in, make some $$, get out. Technical setup looks really nice. Seasonally strong period for sports betting. Leader in the industry. No dividend.

(Analysts’ price target is $49.30)
SELL

He feels sports gambling is awful. We should see losses in these gambling companies because of the lack of duty of care. There will be fewer gambling companies ahead since it is a saturated industry.

BUY

Great fundamentals, though a quarter of the US still bans sports betting. DKNG has done a good job increasing parlay use. Delta just announced a partnership--we'll see how that plays out. iGaming saw a 14% bounce last quarter in customer count YOY; it's small, but has a lot of room to expand. Overall, DKNG has a lot going for it, and it does well during the NFL playoffs. Also, shares are down a lot, so shares are cheap.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Enjoys the same tailwinds, and a duopoly, with Flutter whom they trail in market share. Has pulled back hard from highs.

BUY

A new law means that professional bettors will pay taxes on their winnings (but don't get a full tax deduction on losses). However, this could discourage bettors. However, since mid-June when the legislation was unveiled the shares of DKNG and FLUT have been rallying. Major sports books already discourage bettors who win too often. Also, the books cater to VIPs, those who bet a lot but don't win as much as the big winners. There's a chance this bill may not pass or could be amended. The two stocks hold a duopoly in sports betting, and more states are legalizing sports betting, so he remain bullish in them.
