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

We see Penn's domestic properties and partnership with ESPN as well positioned to benefit from the more than $40 billion U.S. sports betting and iGaming revenue opportunity by 2030.

Bears

Debt levels are elevated, which could inflate financing costs for future renovations and investment.
