Original source text
DraftKings has shed nearly half its value over the past year while quietly building a Predictions product that went from $2.3 billion to $11 billion in annualized volume in just three months. Whether that pivot justifies a major rebound or…

DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG | DKNG Price Prediction) has been one of 2026’s most disappointing large caps, sliding 31.98% year to date and 51.15% over the past year. With shares at $24.42, bulls are asking whether a 50% rebound is realistic.

Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for DraftKings is $22.56 over the next 12 months, implying -7.69% downside and a hold rating at 90% confidence.

Metric Value Current Price $24.42 24/7 Wall St. Price Target $22.56 Upside/Downside -7.69% Recommendation HOLD Confidence 90% Why We Could Be Wrong Our 24/7 Wall St. price target sits just below the current price, and DraftKings has real optionality. A strong NFL season could reset sportsbook margins, and the Predictions product is growing faster than anticipated with annualized volume traded jumping from $2.3 billion to $11 billion between April and July. Treat our target as one datapoint. A full bull case sits below.

A Rough Year Meets a Predictions Pivot Shares fell 9.11% in the past week and now trade well off the $48.78 52-week high, closer to the $20.46 low. Q2 2026 revenue of $1.44 billion came in missing expectations by 4.48%, and adjusted EPS of $0.09 came in missing expectations against a $0.1917 consensus.

Adjusted EBITDA compressed to $114.60 million from $300.64 million a year earlier as sports outcomes and Predictions launch spend weighed on margins. Management kept FY26 guidance of $6.5 billion to $6.9 billion in revenue and $700 million to $900 million in adjusted EBITDA intact.

Bull Case for $47+ Bulls have a clean story. Robins told investors DraftKings has “an excellent product experience,” and July sportsbook handle was up 20% year over year post World Cup. Customer acquisition costs came in 25% better than anticipated, and more than 600,000 customers have engaged with Predictions year to date.

Wall Street’s average target sits at $34.98, with 24 Buy and 5 Strong Buy ratings. Our own model’s bull case reaches $47.61 in 12 months, roughly 94.85% upside, if Predictions scales into a real second engine and sportsbook margins normalize.

What Could Go Wrong Sportsbook revenue fell 10.6% in Q2, and sports net revenue margin compressed to 6.8% from 8.7%. Sales and marketing surged to $322.54 million.

Bulls would counter that the margin hit reflects customer-friendly outcomes plus a deliberate $200 million to $300 million Predictions investment. Still, the bear scenario in our model prices DKNG at $21.32, roughly -12.76%, if regulatory friction on event contracts intensifies.

How DraftKings Compares to Flutter The cleanest comp is Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:FLUT), which owns FanDuel and competes head-to-head in US sportsbook. Flutter trades at 17x forward earnings against DraftKings at 24x, and its EV/EBITDA of 16 is a fraction of DraftKings’ 119. Flutter’s TTM revenue of $17.16 billion dwarfs DraftKings’ $6.22 billion.

That gap makes our 24/7 Wall St. price target for DKNG look reasonable rather than aggressive: DraftKings already commands a growth premium over the category leader, and further multiple expansion requires proof.

Company Forward P/E EV/EBITDA DraftKings 24 119 Flutter 17 16 DraftKings Price Prediction 2026-2030 My verdict on DraftKings is hold. The 24/7 Wall St. price target of $22.56 at 90% confidence reflects a real disconnect between the current forward EPS profile and today’s price.

I would be a buyer here if Q3 shows sportsbook margin recovery above 7% and Predictions crosses one million active customers. I would stay on the sidelines if promo spend continues climbing without matching handle growth. A 50% rebound is achievable, but only under the bull path.

Year 24/7 Wall St. Price Target 2026 $22.56 2027 $21.84 2028 $21.49 2029 $21.45 2030 $22.17 These projections assume DraftKings continues executing on Predictions and defends sportsbook share. Meaningful upside could arrive from California or Texas legalization, while regulatory action on event contracts could push actual outcomes toward the model’s bear path.

Key Takeaways DKNG's sportsbook handle rose 11% YoY, while trailing 12-month net revenue per customer increased 14%.DraftKings kept 2026 revenue guidance at $6.5-$6.9B and adjusted EBITDA outlook at $700-$900M.FLUT cut its 2026 revenue and EBITDA outlooks amid taxes, restructuring and regional weakness. The online gaming industry is navigating an increasingly competitive environment as operators balance customer acquisition, promotional spending, product innovation and profitability. Within this environment, DraftKings Inc. (DKNG - Free Report) and Flutter Entertainment plc (FLUT - Free Report) hold leading competitive positions but differ materially in geographic exposure, operating mix and capital-allocation priorities.

DraftKings is leveraging improving customer economics, its nationwide Super App and the expansion of Predictions, while Flutter is relying on FanDuel’s U.S. scale, international diversification and cost-transformation initiatives. With both companies pursuing growth amid regulatory uncertainty and shifting market dynamics, a closer look at their recent performance, strategies and outlook can help determine which stock has stronger prospects ahead.

The Case for DKNGDraftKings continues to demonstrate solid underlying momentum across its sportsbook operations. Second-quarter sportsbook handle increased 11% year over year, while sports consumer volume rose 15%. Monthly unique payers increased 9%, or more than 6% excluding World Cup-only customers. Sportsbook handle share also improved year over year for the third consecutive quarter, pointing to sustained competitive gains.

Customer-acquisition trends were similarly encouraging. Customer acquisition increased nearly 75% year over year, with DraftKings adding roughly 30% more customers than planned. Although acquisition spending exceeded expectations by approximately 10%, customer acquisition costs were about 25% below projections and reached their most efficient level since the first quarter of 2025. Reported revenues declined 4.6% year over year to $1.44 billion. However, revenues increased 10% on a normalized basis after adjusting for sports outcomes and customer-acquisition effects.

Improving monetization further supports the company’s growth profile. Trailing 12-month net revenue per unique customer increased 14% during the first half of 2026, indicating sustained growth in revenues generated from each customer. A continued increase in parlay handle mix also supports the underlying economics of the sportsbook business.

Predictions represents an additional growth opportunity. More than 600,000 customers engaged with the offering year to date, while annualized total volume traded increased nearly fivefold from $2.3 billion in April to $11 billion in July. The launch of DKeX, approval as a Futures Commission Merchant and the development of in-house market-making capabilities should enable DraftKings to capture a larger share of the platform’s economics as activity migrates to its proprietary infrastructure.

Nonetheless, Predictions remains at an early stage, and its long-term return profile has yet to be established. Customer-friendly sports outcomes created an approximately $80 million second-quarter revenue headwind, while the additional spending required to acquire more customers than planned reduced near-term adjusted EBITDA. DraftKings also expects to invest $200-$300 million in Predictions during 2026, with regulatory uncertainty adding another layer of risk.

The Case for FLUTFlutter’s international footprint provides meaningful geographic diversification, although performance across markets remains uneven. International revenues increased 10% in the second quarter, including contributions from the Snai and Betnacional acquisitions. Italy recovered strongly following temporary pressure associated with the Snai migration, while Southern Europe and Africa iGaming revenues rose 34%. These gains were partly offset by lower organic revenues in Brazil, continued weakness in APAC racing and profitability pressure from higher U.K. iGaming taxes.

In the United States, FanDuel is taking steps to strengthen engagement following shortcomings in the execution of its generosity strategy during the previous NFL season. Rewards Club reached 70% of customers, while BetProtect+ and SuperSub enhanced the sportsbook proposition. However, U.S. revenues declined 6% year over year, including a six-percentage-point headwind from customer-friendly sports outcomes. Flutter also estimated that the U.S. sportsbook market grew approximately 5% during the first half and incorporated a broadly similar rate into its second-half assumptions.

FanDuel Predicts offers another potential growth avenue, although first-half progress was slower than planned and the regulatory framework remains unsettled. The One App rollout and Crypto.com integration are expected to strengthen the offering, while market-making activities are projected to contribute approximately $50 million to both revenues and adjusted EBITDA in 2026. However, the absence of separately disclosed customer and volume metrics makes the platform’s early traction difficult to evaluate.

At the consolidated level, Flutter’s revenues increased 3%, and second-quarter performance exceeded internal expectations. Profitability and cash generation, however, remained under pressure. Adjusted EBITDA declined 45%, free cash flow fell 56%, and the company recorded a net loss of $296 million compared with net income of $37 million a year earlier. Leverage ended the quarter at 4.3X, above the medium-term target range of 2-2.5X.

Flutter expects approximately $500 million of transaction, restructuring and integration costs in 2026, including initial efficiency program implementation costs and $95 million of historical tax provisions.

How Do DKNG and FLUT Stack Up on Outlook?DraftKings enters the second half with healthy sportsbook demand, improving customer economics and unchanged full-year guidance. Its core business remains on track to generate approximately $1 billion in adjusted EBITDA in 2026. Including the planned Predictions investment, DraftKings maintained its revenue outlook of $6.5-$6.9 billion and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $700-$900 million.

Flutter plans to increase customer generosity in the United States to strengthen engagement and position FanDuel for potential market-share gains in 2027. Although the investment could benefit the business over time, it will constrain near-term earnings. U.S. adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be approximately breakeven in the third quarter and roughly $500 million in the fourth quarter, down from the previous fourth-quarter expectation of about $700 million.

The midpoint of Flutter’s 2026 revenue outlook was reduced by $395 million to $17.91 billion, while its adjusted EBITDA midpoint was lowered by $210 million to $2.655 billion. The reductions leave Flutter with a less favorable near-term earnings trajectory despite its broader international platform.

The guidance divergence is notable. DraftKings is investing in prediction markets without reducing its consolidated outlook. Flutter, meanwhile, is increasing customer generosity to strengthen U.S. momentum after lowering its full-year expectations. DraftKings, therefore, currently offers greater near-term earnings visibility.

How Does the Zacks Consensus Estimate Compare for DKNG & FLUT?The Zacks Consensus Estimates for DraftKings’ 2026 sales and earnings per share (EPS) suggest year-over-year increases of 11.4% and 56.1%, respectively. In the past 60 days, the consensus EPS estimate for 2026 has declined 7.2%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Flutter’s 2026 sales suggests year-over-year growth of 9.4%, while the EPS estimate indicates a decline of 40.4%. In the past 60 days, the consensus EPS estimate for 2026 has declined 15.8%.

End NotesOverall, DraftKings and Flutter are pursuing growth through sportsbook innovation, customer engagement and prediction-market expansion. DraftKings benefits from healthy betting demand, improving customer economics and rapid Predictions adoption, while Flutter offers FanDuel’s scale, international diversification and a lower valuation.

However, DKNG’s stronger consensus earnings-growth outlook, unchanged guidance and superior recent share-price performance currently give it an edge. DKNG currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while FLUT has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), reinforcing DraftKings’ relative advantage in this comparison.

Argus snižuje DraftKings na Hold kvůli nákladům
DKNG Draft Kings
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG | DKNG Price Prediction) has had a rough stretch in 2026. Shares are down 26.61% year to date as of Friday’s close and 43.22% over the past year, trading at $26.17 against a 52-week high of $48.78. Now, Argus has formalized what the price action has been signaling, cutting the stock to Hold from Buy and removing its price target.

Argus cited high customer acquisition costs, rising state gaming taxes and aggressive competition from prediction markets as the primary drivers of the downgrade. The firm also flagged that DraftKings has been losing market share in U.S. Internet gaming, and cut its estimates accordingly.

However, the broader analyst community remains more constructive, with 30 Buy ratings, eight Hold ratings and two Sell ratings and a consensus price target of $34.11, implying meaningful upside from current levels.

The Case Against DKNG Right Now The Argus downgrade lands despite a genuinely strong Q4. DraftKings posted Q4 revenue of nearly $2 billion, up 43% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of 36 cents, doubling the 18-cent consensus estimate. Full-year 2025 marked the company’s first-ever GAAP net profit.

But the concern is forward-looking: The company is making a large bet on DraftKings Predictions, its federally regulated event contracts platform, and that investment carries real near-term cost.

Management acknowledged the spend will run into “tens of millions” in incremental costs, covering new headcount, technology buildout and customer acquisition. CEO Jason Robins was direct about the competitive stakes: “Speed and execution, combined with a strong brand, smooth interface and real sports modeling, trading and technology expertise will determine long-term leadership.” That confidence may be warranted, but it does not eliminate the execution risk.

Key Risks to Monitor The tax environment is the most unpredictable variable. DraftKings’ 2026 guidance of $6.5 billion to $6.9 billion in revenue and $700 million to $900 million in adjusted EBITDA explicitly assumes state tax rates hold steady. Any increases in states like New Jersey, Illinois or Louisiana could compress margins meaningfully. Robins acknowledged the pressure but expressed optimism: “States would be absolutely crazy right now to raise OSB taxes with everything going on with Predictions.”

Short interest has also climbed, with DKNG short interest at 8.03% of float, up 7.79% since the last report and above the peer average of 6.98%. The average analyst price target has declined from $44.58 to $38.80 over recent months, reflecting a broader reassessment of the growth timeline.

The core business fundamentals remain intact. But with Argus stepping to the sidelines, rising costs ahead, and tax uncertainty unresolved — factors the broader analyst community will likely continue to weigh.

Highlights

More than 600,000 DraftKings customers have used its predictions product, while annualized trading volume rose from $2.3 billion to $11 billion between April and July.

DraftKings sees only about 1% customer overlap with the largest prediction market operator in sportsbook states and estimated 80% to 90% of prediction volume there comes from professional or institutional-style traders.

The company now controls brokerage, exchange and market-making capabilities, giving it a path to capture more fees, improve customer lifetime value and replicate the vertical-integration strategy that strengthened its sportsbook business.

DraftKings is positioning itself not simply as a sportsbook operator, but as a nationwide sports commerce platform capable of acquiring, engaging and monetizing customers across multiple products.

As company executives stressed to investors during a second-quarter 2026 earnings call Friday (Aug. 7), prediction markets are becoming central to that ambition.

“We delivered a strong second quarter and enter the back half of the year with real momentum, as our core business grew across handle, users and engagement,” DraftKings Co-Founder and CEO Jason Robins said in a Friday press release. “Our super app is now live nationwide, and Predictions is already growing faster than we anticipated. The similarity of Predictions customer metrics to Sportsbook customer metrics, our advantaged LTV position and our playbook to innovate on a leading Predictions offering all underpin our confidence that we can win the category.”

DraftKings generated $115 million in adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter, while customer-friendly sports outcomes created an approximately $80 million revenue headwind. Management nevertheless maintained its full-year revenue guidance of $6.5 billion to $6.9 billion and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $700 million to $900 million. Its core business remains on track to generate roughly $1 billion in adjusted EBITDA this year.

DraftKings Is Turning the Sportsbook Into a Super App DraftKings said customer acquisition increased nearly 75% year over year during the second quarter, helped by the NBA Finals and World Cup. The company acquired roughly 30% more customers than expected while spending only about 10% more than planned, with acquisition costs coming in approximately 25% better than anticipated.

Some of those customers are coming from markets DraftKings historically could not reach through regulated sports betting. Its prediction product is now available nationally through the broader DraftKings Sports app. More than 600,000 customers have used predictions this year, and management said adoption has exceeded expectations. Annualized trading volume increased from $2.3 billion to $11 billion between April and July.

That changes the geographic logic of DraftKings’ business. Instead of waiting for large states such as California and Texas to legalize online sports betting, DraftKings can establish customer relationships there through prediction markets today. Robins said consumers in states without legal sportsbooks are showing profiles similar to sportsbook customers elsewhere.

Management said it sees only about 1% customer overlap between its sportsbook users and customers of the largest prediction market operator in states where online sports betting is already legal. DraftKings also estimates that 80% to 90% of prediction market volume in those jurisdictions comes from professional syndicates and institutional-style traders who were largely not sportsbook customers in the first place.

Early customer economics are reinforcing the thesis. DraftKings said prediction customers are being acquired for materially less than sportsbook customers while showing comparable early retention and volume characteristics. More than half have used “combos,” the prediction market equivalent of packaging multiple outcomes together, and the feature is approaching 20% of prediction volume.

Owning More of the Gaming Economics Comes Down to Infrastructure, Not Acquisition DraftKings now operates across three layers of the prediction market stack, including brokerage, exchange and market making. Management said owning those functions allows it to capture economics that would otherwise flow to third parties while giving the company greater control over products, pricing and customer experience.

The company plans to move much of its major sports prediction volume onto its own exchange, DKeX, beginning around the college football and NFL seasons. As more activity moves internally, management said it expects unit economics to improve, potentially creating a multiyear margin tailwind.

The sportsbook remains the engine. DraftKings is now trying to build an ecosystem around it.

The PYMNTS Intelligence report “Banking Both Sides: Instant Payouts Turn Receivers Into Customers” found that gig, creator and marketplace platforms are the most aggressive adopters of instant payouts in absolute terms, with nearly one-third of senders offering instant payouts always or most of the time.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) (“DraftKings” or the “Company”) today announced its second quarter 2026 financial results. The Company also posted a second quarter 2026 business update and a slide presentation on the Financials section of its website at ir.aboutdraftkings.com.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, DraftKings reported Sports Consumer Volume of $13.1 billion, an increase of $1.7 billion, or 15%, compared to $11.5 billion during the same period in 2025. The increase reflects strong customer acquisition and engagement. DraftKings reported revenue of $1,443 million, a decrease of $69 million, or 5%, compared to $1,513 million during the same period in 2025. The decrease in the Company's second quarter 2026 revenue was driven primarily by customer-friendly sport outcomes and increased promotional reinvestment associated with new customer acquisition on our Sportsbook and Predictions offerings.

“We delivered a strong second quarter and enter the back half of the year with real momentum, as our core business grew across handle, users, and engagement,” said Jason Robins, DraftKings' Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder. “Our Super App is now live nationwide, and Predictions is already growing faster than we anticipated. The similarity of Predictions customer metrics to Sportsbook customer metrics, our advantaged LTV position, and our playbook to innovate on a leading Predictions offering all underpin our confidence that we can win the category this NFL season and beyond.”

“Our core business remains on track to generate approximately $1 billion of Adjusted EBITDA this year, providing us with financial flexibility to invest behind the significant opportunity that we are seeing in Predictions,” said Alan Ellingson, DraftKings’ Chief Financial Officer. “Therefore, we are maintaining our fiscal year 2026 guidance for revenue of $6.5 billion to $6.9 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $700 million to $900 million.”

Continued Strong Customer Acquisition, Retention, and Engagement

Monthly Unique Payers (“MUPs”) increased approximately 9% to 3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase reflects strong unique payer retention and new customer acquisition across our Sportsbook offering and Predictions offering, which launched in December 2025. Average Revenue per MUP (“ARPMUP”) decreased approximately 13%, or $19, to $132 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to customer-friendly sport outcomes and new customer promotions impacting revenue across our Sportsbook offering and Predictions offering. Detailed financial data and other information for the second quarter of 2026 is available in the financial statements set forth below under the caption “Financial and Operational Results.” Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance

DraftKings is maintaining its fiscal year 2026 revenue guidance range of $6.5 billion to $6.9 billion and fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $700 million to $900 million, which the Company previously announced on May 7, 2026. Mobile Sports Betting and iGaming Footprint

DraftKings is live with mobile sports betting in 27 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico representing approximately 53% of the U.S. population. DraftKings is also live with iGaming in 5 states, representing approximately 11% of the U.S. population. Following the launch of our Sportsbook and iGaming offerings in Alberta, Canada, DraftKings is now live with its Sportsbook and iGaming offerings in provinces representing approximately 51% of the Canadian population. Webcast and Conference Call Details

As previously announced, DraftKings will host a conference call and audio webcast tomorrow, Friday, August 7, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. ET, during which management will discuss the Company’s results and provide commentary on business performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that DraftKings uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are useful in evaluating its operating performance, similar to measures reported by its publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are not intended to be substitutes for any GAAP financial measures, and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income or expense (net), income tax provision or benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below.

DraftKings defines and calculates Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders adjusted for the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets; discrete tax benefits attributed to acquisitions; stock-based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income; and the tax impact of adjusting items, as described in the reconciliation below. The weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share are the GAAP weighted-average diluted shares reported in the consolidated financial statements and are not adjusted.

DraftKings includes these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends and to make decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with GAAP because they are non-recurring items (for example, in the case of transaction-related costs and advocacy and other related legal expenses), non-cash expenditures (for example, in the case of depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation), or non-operating items which are not related to the Company’s underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest income and expense and litigation, settlement and related costs).

The unaudited table below presents the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA reconciled to its net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, for the periods indicated:

Weighted average diluted number of shares used to calculate Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 496.1 million and 529.5 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 495.2 million and 529.6 million, respectively; totals may not add due to rounding.   (1)

The amounts include the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $37.6 million and $36.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $75.1 million and $79.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. (2)

Advocacy and legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business have not been adjusted in this measure. (6)

Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Company began applying an estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate, which was 23% in 2025 and is 28% as of the second quarter of 2026. The non-GAAP effective tax rate reflects the non-GAAP tax provision commensurate with the Company's level of non-GAAP profitability, which was determined after adjusting for the non-GAAP adjustments presented above and excluding the impact of changes in the valuation allowance.   Information reconciling forward-looking fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), is unavailable to DraftKings without unreasonable effort due to, among other things, certain items required for such reconciliation being outside of DraftKings’ control and/or not being able to be reasonably predicted. Preparation of such reconciliation would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income, and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. DraftKings provides a range for its Adjusted EBITDA forecast that it believes will be achieved; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it can predict all of the components of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation. DraftKings provides a forecast for Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with DraftKings’ results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities or as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) today announced plans to launch its top-rated online sportsbook and casino, along with its Golden Nugget Online Gaming brand, in Alberta on July 13. Alberta will become the second Canadian province and the 34th jurisdiction across North America where DraftKings Sportsbook is available. With the launch, DraftKings Casino will be available in five U.S. states and Golden Nugget Online Gaming casino in four U.S. states, with both brands available in Alberta and Ontario in Canada.

Ahead of the official launch, DraftKings will host a watch party for the World Cup on July 11 at the Wildhorse Saloon in Calgary. The event is part of DraftKings' broader initiative that has brought fans across North America closer to the excitement of the tournament through a series of watch parties in Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami and Hoboken. Each event has featured live match viewing, giveaways and interactive activations designed to create memorable fan experiences.

“We’re thrilled to launch DraftKings Sportsbook and DraftKings Casino, as well as Golden Nugget Online Gaming in Alberta and continue expanding our presence in Canada,” said Greg Karamitis, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sports at DraftKings. “Alberta is home to a passionate sports fan base, and we’re excited to bring customers across the province our industry-leading sports betting and online casino experiences.

CompaniesJuly 8 (Reuters) - Michael Burry, the investor famed for predicting and profiting from the 2008 U.S. housing market collapse, has bought shares ​of sports-betting platforms Flutter Entertainment (FLTRF.L), opens new tab and DraftKings (DKNG.O), opens new tab, wagering regulatory scrutiny ‌will eventually curb the threat posed by prediction markets.

Burry said on Wednesday he bought Flutter at about $107 a share and DraftKings "in the low $26s." Together, the investments ​make up a full-sized position weighted roughly 60/40 toward ​Flutter, though the investor said he may make each a full ⁠position in the future.

Prediction markets are the main threat ​facing the two companies, Burry said in a post on his website, ​because their event contracts can be offered nationwide under Commodity Futures Trading Commission oversight while avoiding state gaming taxes.

Prediction markets let traders buy and ​sell contracts tied to the outcome of events, including sports, ​elections and economic data.

Burry said these platforms operate in a loophole alongside a ‌heavily ⁠regulated and taxed gambling industry. "I believe that the political climate will not tolerate this," he wrote, adding that he expects prediction markets to eventually be brought under regulation and taxation.

Shares of Flutter, ​down 50% this ​year as ⁠of last close, remain attractive because the company is a strong business with significant scale despite ​past capital misallocation, while DraftKings, whose shares are ​down 21%, is ⁠inflecting as an operating business, the investor said.

Meanwhile, Burry also said he bought more JD.com shares at $27.58, calling it one of his top ⁠three ​positions, and that he expects Hong Kong and ​Chinese stocks to benefit as AI and memory-chip enthusiasm unwinds in South Korea ​and Japan.

DraftKings shares are powering higher. What’s fueling DKNG momentum? What Is Driving DraftKings’ New DKeX Exchange?DraftKings is deepening its push into prediction markets with DKeX, a proprietary exchange built to support a more differentiated DraftKings Predictions experience and expand the range of event contracts available on its platform.

The rollout comes as DraftKings Predictions gains traction, with the company reporting about $3.4 billion in annualized consumer volume for the week ended June 21 and roughly $11.3 billion in annualized total trading volume. That scale is one reason traders are viewing DKeX as more than a routine product update, but as a move toward greater vertical integration.

The launch also comes as the prediction-markets space grows more competitive. Meta is reportedly developing a standalone app internally called "Arena," raising questions about whether new entrants could eventually pressure user engagement, pricing power and market share.

DraftKings Stock: Key Levels To WatchAt $26.98, the stock is trading above its 20-day SMA ($26.52), 50-day SMA ($25.37), and 100-day SMA ($24.41), which keeps the intermediate trend pointed up after the April swing low. The bigger-picture hurdle is still the 200-day SMA ($28.87), with shares trading 5.7% below that long-term trend line after a weaker 12-month run (down 32.85%).

MACD is the cleaner momentum read right now: it’s below its signal line with a negative histogram, which typically means upside pressure is cooling unless buyers can reassert control. In plain terms, MACD tracks trend momentum, and being below the signal line often shows the recent upswing is losing steam rather than accelerating.

Key Resistance: $30.00 — a round-number area that can act as an overhead supply zone as price works back toward longer-term resistance Key Support: $23.50 — a nearby floor that lines up with a prior buyer-defense zone and sits below the 50-day/100-day averages as a "trend break" tell What Is DraftKings and How Does It Operate?DraftKings got its start in 2012 as an innovator in daily fantasy sports, then expanded into online sports and casino gambling after the 2018 Supreme Court ruling that opened the door for state-by-state legalization. Today it generally holds the number-two or -three revenue share position across states where it competes, giving it scale benefits in a market where product depth and pricing can drive retention.

DraftKings Earnings Preview: What Analysts ExpectLooking further out, the next major catalyst for the stock arrives with the August 5, 2026 (estimated) earnings report.

EPS Estimate: 28 cents (Down from 38 cents YoY) Revenue Estimate: $1.56 Billion (Up from $1.51 Billion YoY) Valuation: P/E of 291.2x (Indicates premium valuation) Analyst Consensus & Recent Actions: The stock carries a Buy rating with an average price target of $35.13 (high $50.00, low $27.00) across 50 analysts. Recent analyst moves include:

Susquehanna: Positive (Lowers Target to $31.00) (July 1) Citizens: Market Outperform (Raises Target to $36.00) (June 25) Guggenheim: Buy (Maintains Target to $35.00) (June 24) DraftKings Benzinga Edge Rankings ExplainedBelow is the Benzinga Edge scorecard for DraftKings, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses compared to the broader market:

The Verdict: DraftKings’ Benzinga Edge signal reveals a premium-valued setup with only moderate growth support and still-weak momentum characteristics. For longer-term bulls, the cleaner technical tell is whether price can reclaim the 200-day area; for risk control, $23.50 is the nearby level that would start to undermine the current uptrend structure.

DraftKings Stock Price Action on TuesdayDKNG Stock Price Activity: DraftKings shares were up 2.75% at $26.93 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

DKeX marks the next phase in DraftKings’ prediction markets evolution, strengthening its ability to deliver differentiated sports experiences across the country alongside its leading sportsbook.

Share "DraftKings is at its best when building innovative platforms that bring together technology, customer focus, and world-class execution to shape the future of sports engagement," said Jason Robins, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of DraftKings. "The momentum we've seen on DraftKings Predictions in recent months reflects the significant progress we've made in delivering a more seamless and connected experience for sports fans. DKeX provides a vertically integrated foundation for DraftKings Predictions, strengthening our prediction markets content and capabilities, giving us greater control over the technology that powers those offerings, and enabling us to move faster as we continue enhancing our unified app."

The launch of DKeX comes as DraftKings Predictions continues rapid growth, with approximately $3.4 billion in annualized consumer volume and approximately $11.3 billion in annualized total trading volume for the week ended June 21. The Company expects continued growth throughout July, driven by ongoing enhancements to the platform, growing adoption of new event contracts and features such as combinations, and heightened interest surrounding the World Cup. Since launching in mid-May, more than 30% of customers have used combinations, which allow multiple individual contracts to be bundled into a single position, highlighting strong demand for a customizable, sports-first prediction markets experience.

“The launch of DKeX and its integration into our unified app is a major step forward in delivering a best-in-class customer experience in sports nationwide,” said Jeanine Hightower-Sellitto, DraftKings Senior Vice President and General Manager of Prediction Markets. “The pace of development across Predictions has been substantial, from expanding our event contract offerings to introducing key features like combos, which customers have quickly embraced. DKeX is the latest milestone in that progression and creates new opportunities to further expand the offering ahead of some of the biggest moments on the sports calendar.”

As part of DraftKings' all-in-one platform strategy, DraftKings Predictions continues to evolve within the unified app. The DraftKings Sports experience brings sports betting and prediction market trading together with sportsbook offerings and/or sports event contracts available based on customer location. Recent enhancements include Predictions Sports Combos, expanded pre-game and in-play stats, dedicated hubs for major events such as the World Cup, and an always-on Live tab that surfaces real-time sporting events, giving customers more opportunities to engage with key moments as they unfold. DraftKings also enhanced its Responsible Engagement tools through My Budget and Controls, an in-app destination for managing deposit limits and personalized activity alerts.

DraftKings Predictions has also expanded with additional event contract offerings, including MLB player and futures contracts, No Runs First Inning (NRFI) baseball, broader NBA and NHL selections, and international sports.

The DraftKings Sports experience is available nationally, including sports event contracts in 18 states. The Company applies its Responsible Engagement principles across its prediction markets offering, supporting informed participation through tools and resources, including the DraftKings Responsible Trading Center.

DKeX leverages the technology and CFTC license from DraftKings’ acquisition of Railbird Technologies.

To access prediction markets and more, customers can download the DraftKings: Sports & Casino app on iOS and Android.

Bank of America varuje před ztrátami na DraftKings až 550 milionů USD
DKNG Draft Kings
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Draftkings Inc (NASDAQ:DKNG) shares have been volatile over the past month as investors continue to weigh the potential impact of prediction markets on the company’s growth outlook, according to Bank of America.

The analysts wrote that DraftKings shares have swung between an intraday low of $23.50 and a high of $30 since May, before easing back to around $25, or roughly 17% below recent highs. Shares were down another 4% at about $23.50 on Thursday.

They wrote that the move reflects a growing debate among investors around prediction market volumes, core sports betting trends, and valuation, particularly ahead of major sporting events.

The bank wrote that it has broken down the current “bull-bear” debate across prediction markets, DraftKings’ core business, and earnings outlook, while also raising its long-term prediction market total addressable market (TAM) estimate to $1.9 trillion in annual volume, up from a prior $1.3 trillion. Despite the higher TAM assumption, the firm made no changes to its earnings estimates and maintained a Neutral rating on the stock.

On prediction markets, Bank of America wrote that volumes have been accelerating, with DraftKings reporting annualized activity of about $3 billion in May, and projections suggesting that could rise to roughly $9 billion in June.

The analysts wrote that DraftKings’ market share has increased from around 1.3% in April to over 2% on certain days in June, and could potentially reach 5% to 10% by 2027 if product and marketing initiatives continue to scale. Under that scenario, the firm wrote that prediction markets could generate $500 million to $1 billion in revenue by 2027, with high incremental margins, though market-making activity could introduce additional upside volatility.

However, Bank of America also wrote that higher volumes may come with increased customer acquisition and promotional costs. The analysts estimate potential losses of $300 million to $550 million this year, above DraftKings’ current guidance of $200 million to $300 million.

They wrote that aggressive promotional activity, including offers such as “trade $5 get $200,” alongside lower fee economics and evolving market structure, could pressure near-term profitability until market-making scales further.

On the core business, Bank of America wrote that DraftKings continues to gain share in sports betting, supported by ongoing product improvements and marketing efficiency, with sports net gaming revenue now approaching parity with FanDuel.

At the same time, the analysts wrote that concerns remain around potential cannibalization from prediction markets, structural hold volatility following recent unfavorable sports outcomes, and softness in iGaming trends. They noted that iGaming has seen roughly 400 basis points of market share loss over the past 18 months, while gross gaming revenue growth slowed to low-single digits in the second quarter.
