TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate PENN, a company that operates casinos, resorts, off-track betting and gaming apps, as a TOP PICK. Quarter over quarter earnings are expected to be up 58% with annual EPS expected to be up over 160%, when results get reported early next month. As more states turn to legalizing sports betting to help build revenues themselves, this bodes well for the company that has 44 facilities in the US and Canada. The company was added to the S&P500 Index recently, meaning there will be an underlying need to own it by index builders. We like how cash reserves are growing while debt is being reduced. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $55, looking to achieve $110 -- upside potential over 50%. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $113.40)
DON'T BUY
Among the biggest losers on the S&P in 2021 #1, down 40%. Gaming was once the hot business for investors. PENN merged with Barstool was supposed to blend a hot entertainment property with this gambling business. Problem is, other companies had the same idea to cash in on a growing market. Once more states permit gambling and there are more mergers, he expects a lot of money to be made. PENN is well-run, too. But Covid needs to vanish and consolidation needs to happen.
TOP PICK
Operates casinos, resorts and other betting and gaming apps. Well run, and promising merger with entertainment media Barstool. Covid completely crushed the stock. We can expect some growth as the economy reopens and more states allow gambling. New entrance in the trending stocks with 15 mentions in the past 24 hours.
