DraftKings (DKNG) is facing considerable challenges in the current landscape of online sports betting, with various experts expressing concerns about its business model, especially regarding regulatory scrutiny and competition within prediction markets. The company's stock has notably declined by 31% this year and has struggled to maintain investor confidence following a disappointing forecast, despite reporting good numbers. Analysts indicate that the lack of legal gambling in key states such as California and Texas is hindering growth and leaving the company 'stuck in the wilderness.' Investors are advised to consider the long-term growth potential, particularly in a changing regulatory environment where the acceptance of online sports betting is still evolving. Overall, while some experts remain optimistic about DraftKings, there's caution concerning its ability to deliver results and the fluctuations in customer engagement, particularly with its main income source—gambling itself.

HOLD
Very exciting growth potential. Kudos to management. Extremely expensive, so you have to form an opinion on how the recent acquisitions will play out over the next 2 years. Hold, and keep an eye on it.
BUY
Very well-run, but they need to spend a fortune to attract customers. They have 30% of the market. Disclosure: he works for them.
DON'T BUY
Not profitable. He owns Evolution Gaming in Sweden instead with very high and consistent ROIC, extremely rapid growth, involved in live casinos.
DON'T BUY
Potentially attractive market, and DKNG is a leader. Shot up last year with momentum. Difficult to model, the industry is new. There will be lots of competition. Short report is getting some attention. She's on the sidelines.
HOLD

Penn National and Draft Kings (where he works) just reported good quarters, but the shares went down. Investors struggled to find reasons, but sometimes declines are just dumb or for reasons unknown. There is zero evidence that gambling has peaked. In fact, he likes the stories behind both stocks. So, don't sell on this decline.

BUY
Sports betting is in relatively early stages. Has been very aggressive, and so has the first mover advantage. Pullback with the other high growth stocks, so this is a pretty good entry point. Interesting. One he'd focus on.
SELL

Sell it. He gets why it's popular, because sports is opening back up, but that tailwind has probably lost steam. He prefers traditional casinos like Penn Gaming or MGM compared to online gambling like DraftKings.

BUY
You can trade this. An interesting name. Today, Draft Kings was up while traditional gambling like Penn Gaming was down. There'll be massive pent-up demand after this huge stimulus bill will fuel this name. During Superbowl, you couldn't even log into Draft Kings, when there was a 60%+ increase in online gambling. Also, more states are passing sports betting.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
SPACs to buy Disclosure: He works for Draft Kings. Revenue is growing fast. The stock has spiked, but it could go down.
DON'T BUY
There is a lot of excitement as different states start to firm up legalities with respect to on-line gambling. It is very richly valued. It is too early for him.
BUY
Disclosure: He does work for Draftkings. The stock is down, but gambling will be legal across the U.S. in the next few years. Now is a good time to start a position.
RISKY
Microcosm of what's going on in the broader market. Going forward, should do well wilh increased legalization of betting in the US. The industry has legs, but investors need to be careful of the price they pay. You could buy a small position, and then add to it on volatility.
COMMENT
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.
