CZR’s Q2 Earnings & Revenue DiscussionFor the quarter, the company reported a loss per share of 30 cents, narrower than the year-ago quarter’s loss of 39 cents but below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of earnings of 4 cents. This translated to a negative earnings surprise of 850%.

Net revenues of $2.99 billion rose 3% year over year and beat the $2.96 billion consensus mark by 1.1%. Growth was driven by strength in the Regional segment and higher casino revenues, with Regional slot handle rising 6.7% year over year. However, weakness in Las Vegas and higher operating costs weighed on profitability, as consolidated adjusted EBITDA declined 3.7% to $920 million.

Q2 Segmental Performance of CaesarsLas Vegas: Net revenues totaled $1.02 billion, down 3.5% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA declined 12.6% to $410 million. Lower city-wide leisure visitation, reduced non-gaming revenues, lower hotel occupancy and weaker table games volume and hold affected results. Slot handle increased 5.4% to $2.67 billion.

Regional: Net revenues increased 9.4% to $1.57 billion, while adjusted EBITDA advanced 11.2% to $488 million. Results benefited from the consolidation of Caesars Windsor, increased visitation in northern Nevada related to a national tournament and positive results from capital investments in Lake Tahoe and New Orleans.

Caesars Digital: Net revenues rose 2.3% to $351 million. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 15% to $68 million. Sports betting handle increased 2.9% to $2.57 billion, while iGaming handle rose 2.7% to $4.83 billion. Higher gaming tax rates and lower sports betting hold weighed on profitability.

Managed and Branded: Net revenues declined 23% to $57 million, while adjusted EBITDA fell 5.9% to $16 million. Caesars Windsor's management fees and reimbursable revenues shifted from this segment to Regional following the March 3 transition. Corporate and Other recorded negative revenues of $2 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $62 million.

CZR's Expense and Profitability TrendsTotal operating expenses increased 4.2% year over year to $2.48 billion. Casino expenses rose 7.7% to $955 million, while general and administrative expenses increased 9.2% to $521 million. Higher gaming taxes, Caesars Windsor consolidation and higher property taxes contributed to the increase.

Operating income declined to $513 million from $526 million. Interest expense, net, decreased to $573 million from $579 million, primarily owing to lower outstanding debt and lower variable-rate interest expense, partly offset by increased lease-related interest expense.

CZR's Liquidity and Fertitta Deal Remain in FocusAs of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $965 million, up from $887 million at 2025-end. Total outstanding indebtedness declined to $11.81 billion from $11.91 billion, while net debt fell to $10.84 billion from $11.02 billion. Total liquidity was $2.93 billion.

For the first six months of 2026, operating cash inflow totaled $675 million versus $680 million a year earlier. Capital expenditures fell to $335 million from $453 million, with another $310-$390 million expected for the remainder of 2026.

Caesars also remains subject to its pending all-cash acquisition by Fertitta Entertainment. Shareholders are set to receive $31 per share, and the transaction was valued at approximately $17.6 billion, including assumed debt. The deal remains subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, and Caesars intends to delist its shares from Nasdaq after completion.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, estimates review have trended downward during the past month.

The consensus estimate has shifted -85.46% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresAt this time, Caesars Entertainment has a average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a D. However, the stock has a score of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for value investors.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Caesars Entertainment has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ: CZR), the largest casino-entertainment company in the U.S., today released its 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility Report, highlighting nearly $88 million in community investment and continued progress across its PEOPLE PLANET PLAY strategy. The annual report highlights Caesars' 2025 progress across community impact, environmental stewardship, Responsible Gaming and Team Member development, wellbeing and safety. “At Caesars, doing busi.

Sometimes a stock looks cheap for a reason. Most of the time, the reason is macro trends affecting the industry the stock is in. No matter how nice it looks on paper, no matter how much value you perceive…it could get worse. Beware of those value traps. One way to avoid them is by leaning on the Zack Rank. Stocks in the bad graces of our Zacks Rank often have earnings estimates moving in the wrong direction.

Today’s Bear of the Day is one of those names. It’s Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) Caesars Entertainment ((CZR - Free Report) ). Caesars remains one of the biggest names in gaming, operating iconic Las Vegas resorts alongside a massive portfolio of regional casinos and a growing digital sportsbook business. But despite its recognizable brands, the investment story continues to be weighed down by one overwhelming issue, debt.

The company carries approximately $11.9 billion in debt, and that's before factoring in billions more in long-term lease obligations tied to its casino real estate. Those financial commitments translate into roughly $2.3 billion in annual interest expense, making it difficult for Caesars to consistently generate meaningful profits even when business conditions are favorable.

The result has been a string of disappointing bottom-line results. Caesars posted another loss in the first quarter of 2026, missing Wall Street earnings expectations as higher interest costs continued to eat away at operating performance. While revenue has remained relatively stable, growth has been sluggish, and adjusted EBITDA has largely stalled despite continued consumer spending.

That's a problem because gaming is an inherently cyclical business. Las Vegas visitation fluctuates with the economy, regional casinos depend heavily on discretionary consumer spending, and digital sports betting remains an intensely competitive market with high customer acquisition costs and evolving regulatory hurdles. If the economy slows, consumers typically cut back on vacations, casino visits, and entertainment spending long before reducing essential purchases.

The stock has missed earnings expectations for six consecutive quarters, helping to prompt analysts all over Wall Street to cut their estimates. The Leisure and Recreational Services industry ranks in the Bottom 16% of our Zacks Industry Rank. There are a few stocks within this industry that are in the good graces of our Rank. These include Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) The Marcus ((MCS - Free Report) ) and Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality ((PRSU - Free Report) ).

LAS VEGAS & RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) (“Caesars”, “the Company”) will release its financial results for the second quarter after the market closes on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. Considering the Company's pending merger agreement with Fertitta Entertainment announced on May 28, 2026, Caesars will not host an earnings call this quarter. Upon completion of the proposed merger agreement, Caesars' common stock will no longer be listed on NASDAQ, and the Compan.

Expanded partnership builds on sports wagering collaboration and positions Caesars and its tribal partners for future online casino launch

AUGUSTA, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) (“Caesars”) today announced the expansion of its existing partnership with three Wabanaki Nations: the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, the Mi’kmaq Nation and the Penobscot Nation, to include online casino gaming in Maine. The long-term agreement positions Caesars and its tribal partners for a potential iGaming launch in the state in 2026, pending regulatory approvals.

Under the expanded agreement, Caesars plans to bring a portfolio of three online casino brands to Maine: Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino and Horseshoe Online Casino. Each brand offers a distinct digital experience tailored to different player interests.

This expanded partnership builds on the successful launch of Caesars Sportsbook in Maine in 2023 and reflects the shared commitment between Caesars and the three Wabanaki Nations to deliver a best-in-class, responsible digital gaming experience while supporting tribal communities across the state. Caesars will invest in local workforce development by employing, training and developing members of each nation and will provide meaningful financial support to help fund tribal community programs and initiatives.

“As we look ahead to the launch of online casino gaming in Maine, we’re proud to expand our partnership with the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, the Mi’kmaq Nation and the Penobscot Nation,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital. “Together, we’ve built a strong and responsible sports wagering experience, and this next phase reinforces our commitment to our tribal partners and to delivering a differentiated, localized digital gaming experience for Mainers. We’re grateful to Gov. Janet Mills, the Maine Legislature and the Maine Gambling Control Unit for their continued leadership and thoughtful approach to gaming in the state.”

“Penobscot Nation is proud to continue and expand our partnership with Caesars as we look toward the future of online gaming in Maine,” said Chief Kirk Francis of the Penobscot Nation. “Our experience working together on sports wagering has demonstrated the value of aligning with a partner that respects our sovereignty, understands our communities and is committed to long-term success for the Wabanaki Nations. This next phase represents a meaningful opportunity to build on that foundation.”

“The Mi’kmaq Nation values the strong relationship we have built with Caesars and our fellow Wabanaki partners,” said Chief Sheila McCormack of the Mi’kmaq Nation. “Expanding into online casino gaming allows us to continue creating economic opportunities for our people while ensuring that any future platform is developed in a responsible, well-regulated manner that benefits the tribes and the state.”

“The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians is pleased to deepen our partnership with Caesars as we prepare for the next chapter of gaming in Maine,” said Chief Clarissa Sabattis of the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians. “This long-term agreement reflects our shared commitment to strengthening Maine’s rural communities and is vital to the Houlton Band’s self-determination and economic self-sufficiency. Internet gaming revenues will provide our tribal government with a more secure, long-term source of revenue that will help us provide essential services and make critical investments in community infrastructure.”

Caesars’ online casino platforms will bring a premier digital entertainment experience to Maine, combining an expansive portfolio of slot titles, table games and live dealer offerings, subject to regulatory approvals, with seamless technology and user-friendly design. Each brand is tailored to meet different player preferences while upholding Caesars’ high standards for quality and Responsible Gaming. The platforms in Maine will integrate with Caesars Sportsbook and feature a single login and wallet experience, powered by Caesars’ Universal Digital Wallet, enabling seamless play across Caesars’ digital offerings.

Integrated with Caesars Rewards®, the company’s industry-leading loyalty program, eligible play will unlock Reward Credits that can be redeemed for unforgettable experiences across Caesars’ destinations nationwide, including stays, dining, entertainment and more.

Caesars Entertainment is an industry leader in Responsible Gaming, known for pioneering Responsible Gaming awareness and education. In 1989, Caesars became the first commercial casino company to address problem gambling by launching the industry’s first Responsible Gaming program, Project 21. Today, the Company’s commitment to ensuring all players are aware of Responsible Gaming resources remains steadfast and spans all of Caesars’ digital platforms and world-class destinations in which it operates. Caesars Entertainment proudly enforces an enhanced 21+ gaming policy that prevents individuals under the age of 21 from using Caesars Rewards and restricts access to its gaming products for individuals under the age of 21.

In March 2024, Caesars Sportsbook received the prestigious RG Check accreditation from the Responsible Gambling Council in Ontario, Canada, which recognizes companies that achieve the highest standards for their Responsible Gaming practices. Just a few months later, the Company was awarded the National Council on Problem Gambling’s award for Corporate Social Responsibility.

About the 3-Wabanaki Nation Coalition

The Penobscot Nation is a sovereign Indian Nation, whose headquarters are located on Indian Island, Maine. The Tribe has been located here since time immemorial and continues to practice its ancient traditions, including hunting and fishing. Penobscot owns over 150,000 acres of land plus over 220 islands in the Penobscot River. The Tribe operates over 110 programs including law enforcement, health care, natural resource and wildlife management, housing, social services, youth programs and its own school system. The Penobscot Nation is very active in sustainable management of its natural resources, lands and waters, including operating a sustained yield foresting program. Additionally, the Tribe participated in the Penobscot River restoration project removing several dams and opening up over 1,200 miles of habitat for over a dozen sea run fish species.

The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians is a federally recognized Indian tribe located in Aroostook County, Maine. We are a riverine people who have used our ancestral territory since time immemorial for fishing, hunting, and gathering fiddleheads for food, ash for basket weaving, and birch for canoes. We call our Band “Metahksoniqewiyik” or People of the Meduxnekeag River, a tributary of the St. John or “Wolastoq” that flows through the Town of Houlton. Together, the Maliseet people of the United States and Canada are the “Wolastoqewiyik” or People of the Beautiful, Flowing River. The Maliseets and Mi’kmaqs were signatory to the first treaty entered by the United States—the Treaty of Watertown on July 19, 1776, just 15 days after the Declaration of Independence—sending 600 of our warriors to fight alongside General Washington against Great Britain. Today, our tribal government provides essential services to our community including a medical clinic, courts, low-income housing, child welfare and elder care programs, behavioral health and substance use services, an addiction recovery home, Boys and Girls Club of Maliseet, food distribution, domestic violence and sexual assault services, Head Start and adult education, vocational rehabilitation, emergency management, and natural resources management and protection. We are a statewide leader in Atlantic salmon restoration and work closely with the Towns of Houlton and Littleton and other local governments on road, bridge, water, and other critical infrastructure projects that support jobs for the people of Aroostook County. The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians invites you to visit our beautiful homeland at Wilderness Pines Campground in Monticello. To learn more about our tribal government and businesses, please visit https://maliseets.net/ and https://www.wildernesspinescampground.com/.

The Mi’kmaq Nation is a federally recognized tribe with 1,633 members in Aroostook County, Maine. The central village and governmental seat is known as the "Bon Aire Village" and is located in the town of Presque Isle. The southern "Littleton Village," is located approximately 45 miles south of Bon Aire, and the northern "Connor Village," is located 25 miles north of Bon Aire. After receiving federal recognition in 1991, the Tribe’s name was officially changed from the Aroostook Band of Micmacs to Mi’kmaq Nation. The Mi'kmaq Nation has created numerous programs to provide its members with support services, housing, infrastructure and a medical clinic. To further benefit their community, Mi’kmaq tribal leaders continuously seek to create a more vibrant economy sensitive to cultural traditions and values. The Mi'kmaq Nation views Maine's Internet Gaming Law as an important opportunity to increase our capacity to deliver essential governmental services to our citizens and to advance the self-sufficiency and self-determination of our Nation.

The Caesars deal just put a clock on the rest of corporate America. On May 28, 2026, Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ: CZR | CZR Price Prediction) announced a definitive agreement to be acquired by Fertitta Entertainment in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $17.6 billion, including the assumption of approximately $11.9 billion of Caesars’ outstanding debt. Shareholders take home $31.00 per share in cash, a 49% premium to the unaffected share price as of February 25, 2026, with no financing condition and a go-shop period running through July 11, 2026.

That premium signals opportunity. With credit markets open and sponsors holding dry powder, beaten-down public companies with clean cash flows, recognizable brands, or busted balance sheets are in scope. We screened four cross-sector names that match the take-private profile and ranked them from least likely to most likely to be acquired next.

4. Etsy Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY) carries the largest market cap on this list at $6.4 billion, which is the primary reason it ranks last. Marketplace network effects are notoriously hard to leverage in a leveraged buyout (LBO), and Etsy’s stock has already rallied 28.2% over the past year and 22.5% year to date to $67.92, narrowing the gap to the $72.28 analyst target.

Q1 2026 revenue of $631 million beat the $617.31 million estimate, with net income swinging to a profit year over year and marketplace GMS growing 5.5%. Insider activity argues against an imminent deal: 100% of the past 30 days of insider transactions were sales, including a 20,000-share director disposal on May 22 at $60.92 to $62.64. Sponsors do not typically pursue companies where insiders are heading for the exits.

3. Under Armour Under Armour (NYSE: UAA) trades at $5.87, down 74% over five years. Founder Kevin Plank is back as CEO with a brand reset and a $305 million restructuring plan. Plank told investors, “Our fiscal 2026 performance reflects the ongoing intentional steps we’re taking to reset the business and restore the discipline required to operate as a best-in-class brand.”

The share register is the real signal. Prem Watsa’s group accumulated 1,178,344 Class A shares over three days in mid-May at roughly $5.00, the largest accumulation in the dataset. Forward EPS guidance of $0.08 to $0.12 is thin, but the asset (brand, North American footprint, international momentum at +10%) is cheap at 0.819x EV/revenue. Plank’s Class C share structure complicates a hostile bid, which is precisely what makes a friendly, founder-led take-private feasible.

2. Xerox Xerox (NASDAQ: XRX) is the most beaten-down name on this list, with a market cap of just $423.7 million and a stock down 86.2% over five years. Q1 2026 revenue of $1.85 billion exceeded expectations of roughly $1.75 billion, helped by the Lexmark acquisition and a $300 million synergy target.

New CEO Louie Pastor framed his priorities as stabilizing revenue, lifting profitability, and reducing leverage. The leverage piece is the catch: total liabilities of $9.37 billion against only $305 million of equity. A sponsor would need debt restructuring as part of any deal. Yet at 0.605x EV/revenue and a 3x forward P/E, with FY26 guided free cash flow of roughly $250 million, the asymmetry is compelling. The stock has already doubled in the past month, hinting that someone is positioning early.

1. Dropbox Dropbox (NASDAQ: DBX) is the cleanest LBO setup of the four. The math is hard to ignore: $1.0 billion of free cash flow in FY 2025 against $2.521 billion of revenue, with a 32.3% free cash flow margin in Q1 2026 and minimal capex. EV/EBITDA is just 11x against a forward P/E of 9x.

Founder and CEO Drew Houston has already run the buyback equivalent of a leveraged recap, having repurchased $1.7 billion of stock in FY25 and another $366.8 million in Q1 2026, shrinking the share count from 295.7 million to 236.7 million. Shareholders’ equity is negative $2.011 billion, meaning the balance sheet has been engineered for private ownership. Houston told investors, “We delivered a strong quarter, exceeding the high end of our guidance for revenue and operating margin.” Applying the 49% Caesars premium to the current $26.88 share price implies a deal price near $40, well within reach for a sponsor underwriting that cash flow stream.

The Cleanest Setup Dropbox carries the take-private fingerprint: predictable cash flow, asset-light operations, a founder controlling the cap table, and a balance sheet restructured around debt rather than equity. Watch for a 13D filing from a private equity sponsor, a pause in the buyback program, or telling commentary from Houston on the next earnings call. Because Caesars has a go-shop period running until July 11, 2026, the window is open for taking additional public companies private. With its massive cash flow, Dropbox is almost certainly being evaluated as a takeover target by every major private equity firm on Wall Street.
