Excellent Buy Opportunities: DraftKing
DraftKings
is the leading sports and fantasy sports betting platform. Its shares lost 80%
form their peak price in 2021. The reason for such a huge drop is more related
with deteriorating market sentiment rather than with strong company’s
financials.
Revenue of
DKNG rose by 34% year-on-year to $417.2 million in the Q1 2022 beating
consensus estimates at $411.4 million. Unique visitors numbers grew by 29%
year-on-year to 2 million, while RPU topped $67, or 11% yup from the Q1 2021.
The
takeover of Golden Nugget Online Gaming was accomplished recently to increase
the number of active users by 5.5 million to 20 million. That is also creating
excellent opportunities for cross sales over the platform.
The
business is highly sensitive to the local legislation in the United States as
state authorities are autorised to license gambling business. DraftKings was
authorized to expand their business to New-York state in early 2022 making
companies services available to 36% of Americans. The company is waiting to be
licensed in California and Texas. States of Maryland and Ohio already
authorized its business. Altogether with these states the company would have an
access to 43% of the population of the United States.
Mid-term
target price for DKNG is at $32.
