Company Report

DraftKings, Penn, MGM, Caesars: Sports Betting Share Dynamics Clearer Amid Recent Competition

Pennsylvania and Michigan released sports wagering and revenue data through February, including individual operator performance. The data supports our view that no-moat Penn is grabbing share at the hands of no-moat peers MGM and Caesars, while no-moat DraftKings adds to its leading position due to first mover and technology advantages. In fact, since launching ESPNBet in November, Penn has averaged a 4- and 7-percentage-point sports revenue share improvement over the prior year in Pennsylvania and Michigan, respectively, reaching a high-single-digit share of both markets and aligning with our forecast. Meanwhile, MGM’s share over the same time is lower by 3 and 5 percentage points; Caesars’ is flat and down 3 percentage points; and smaller competitors are collectively lower by 3 and 3 percentage points. Conversely, DraftKings’ share is up 7 and 11 percentage points.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Caesars' best-of-breed management has generated cost and revenue synergies from its merger with Eldorado.

Bears

Debt levels are elevated after the merger with Eldorado, which could elevate financing costs for future renovations and investment.

Company Profile

Caesars Entertainment includes about 50 domestic gaming properties across Las Vegas (49% of 2023 EBITDAR before corporate expenses) and regional (48%) markets. Additionally, the company hosts managed properties and digital assets, the later of which produced marginal EBITDA in 2023. Caesars' US presence roughly doubled with the 2020 acquisition by Eldorado, which built its first casino in Reno, Nevada, in 1973 and expanded its presence through prior acquisitions to over 20 properties before merging with legacy Caesars. Caesars' brands include Caesars, Harrah’s, Tropicana, Bally’s, Isle, and Flamingo. Also, the company owns the US portion of William Hill (it sold the international operation in 2022), a digital sports betting platform.
