Robert McWhirterTheScore Inc.SCR.TOCOMMENTAug 07, 2015

At the moment they are not profitable. Forecast by 3 analysts for Aug/2016 is that they will lose $.04. This is more about the gold rush to acquire viewers. The crack in the armour generally is that people had previously said sports was immune from the slim fast diet plan that was going on, as far as cord cutting, for people that had typically subscribed to cable TV. To their benefit they offer an opportunity where you can use your laptop or app, to keep on top of what is going on with your favourite team. Within the last 4 months they have acquired a fantasy sports crew, and hope to bring in some of their existing 10 million subscribers into the fantasy sports side. This gives access to their fantasy sports side much less expensively, and the ability of cross-selling their existing customer base. The fantasy offers a pretty good opportunity for them.

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The revenue of $6.4M missed estimates by 31%. Loss was also much worse than expected. The company continues to move into new states and media revenue grew sharply. Another capital raise would not be surprising with the US rollout. Results were weak but the potential is still there. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

WEAK BUY

Legalization of sports gambling is opening up. He likes names like DKNG, as it's larger and with more opportunities. There will be lots of competition in the space. Exciting market for the long term.

WATCH
He owns very little in sports betting stocks. In mid-February there was excitement in this space, driven by legalization in some U.S. states, and at the same time the wider market was frothy. Since then, the market has changed what it's looking for, seeking reopening stocks. Score's valuation was overdone in February but is reasonable now. He's watching this sector now, which is growing, and will probably enter it at some point.
DON'T BUY
They have a great app to check sports scores, now pivoting to online gaming, a good business and a new, unknown market which excites investors, but a lot of players are entering this space too. It could end with SCR being bought out. We don't know the total market yet and how much money can be made. BETZ-Q ETF is better because it holds a variety of sports betting stocks. He doesn't know why this stock has fallen off lately; doesn't follow it that closely.
HOLD

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. It has had a huge run, up 533% this year. The recent weakness is probably profit taking in case results are weak. Revenue remains very low but this is to be expected and this quarter does not change long term potential. Per share loss should be lower than last year. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

COMMENT

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The growth outlook is very positive with key bills being introduced for debate by the government. The reverse split has occurred. The stock is up 245% this year and expectations are very high. Decide on a weighting and sell into strength accordingly. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

COMMENT

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The consolidation is effective on February 18. 5i would recommend to trim on position size rather than trying to time the market. The price is not guaranteed to drop so you should look at weighting more than price. The stock will reverse split 1:10. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

RISKY
A bet on the future. Stocks that have gone back 100-200% in the last month will fall back and correct. Engaged user base, so a great opportunity. Depends on favourable legislation and getting the interface right. A very speculative play.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. It has built a solid platform and user base. They are well positioned to monetize through gambling. Revenues are growing and the balance sheet looks decent. 20% is owned by insiders. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

DON'T BUY
He would not short it or buy it. It had a big run this year on the idea of it getting into online gambling. He thinks it is real and could turn into a good situation but they will need some money to fund this roll out so see how they finance it. It is fully valued here.
DON'T BUY
A sports gaming bet since it was legalized in the states.. The company is a takeover target. Cash-flow is expected to be low. He wouldn’t look too closely at it. (Analysts’ price target is $1.00)
PARTIAL BUY
He once owned it and sold it too soon. That was a mistake. They have a lot of cash, a big user base, and online gambling now is a huge opportunity. Gambling may not spread as quickly as some expect, but more states are legalizing sports gambling.
COMMENT
Big breakout. Great for shareholders. He doesn't buy small caps. Overbought right now. Usually a stock goes sideways after that.
COMMENT
A past pick and a long-term hold though just sold his piece today. The valuation is no longer attractive and the company needs money to fund new sports betting initiatives. That said, he likes it long-term.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 15/18, Down 6%) A play on two emerging growth themes -- e-sports and betting. He is very bullish on e-sports for younger consumers all around the world.
