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.

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.

HOLD

It's down over 40%, crushed. We're in the height of gambling season. This may go down later. To sell it now is a mistake.

TOP PICK

The company operates casinos, resorts and other betting and gaming apps. A recent Stockchase Research top pick. Earnings are expected to have grown 58%. The legalization of sports betting will continue to be a tailwind. Social media mentions are up 1500% in the last 24 hours.

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)

BUY

Likes it and it's performing well. It's gambling season right now.

BUY

Gambling stocks plunged today Gambling stocks like this are due for a bounce as the world reopens and there's more sports betting to come.

WAIT

It's tough. PENN is down 10% YTD. He expects NFL betting will be bigger than NBA betting--and this will make PENN a winner, but the NFL season doesn't start until the fall.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly PENN is a company that operates casinos, resorts, off-track betting and gaming apps. Recently reported earnings of $0.55 per share far exceeded analyst calls for $0.30. Revenue gained 14% of the year. More states are turning to legalizing sports betting to help build revenues themselves. The company was just added to the S&P500 Index, meaning there will be an underlying need to own it by index builders. It is estimated to have built cash reserves to over $2.5 billion. We would buy this with a stop loss at $55, looking to achieve $110 -- upside potential over 33%. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $110.14)

HOLD

This 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

Loves it for its CEO and the deal they did with Barstool Sports. It's doing very well and deserves to trade higher.

BUY

They report Thursday. A favourite of his among gambling, which has been on a tear lately. The report will say whether their partnership with Barstool has attracted gambling customers. He expects good numbers.
