PENN Entertainment Inc (PENN) News

PENN new 52 week low

Read an article today (can't seem to find it now) that it may take a year but it is about 100% undervalued. Bought 200 shares this morning to hold after reading that article. That would put it around $34 in 2025. Said they have 1 Billion in cash, opening 4 new casinos, now can bet in NY and one other state they were not in before. If I can find the article again, I will post the link. Yes, looks bad at the moment, but future could be bright after paying for ESPN BET. Spent $400 million for it, got rid of Barstool, and should eventually begin to pay off.

PENN new 52 week low today. In a few at 17.36 can hold even add some if I wanna!

Next week ER...

PENN $$

PENN chart i loaded at 22.61-23.32 this week looking for breakout over 27 area in next two weeks or so. This has room to run folks could be good for multi month rally into mid to high 30s. Here is my profile on a more active board. https://stocktwits.com/Q42/message/558536320

I disagreed with market applauding this news. Maybe temporarily sounds good with espn. Not long term here. In fact I should have shorted the pop

People really hating on this deal , tells me they want in crazy hit pieces out there

In connection with PENN’s decision to rebrand our online sports betting business from Barstool Sportsbook to ESPN Bet pursuant to the Sportsbook Agreement as discussed above, PENN entered into a stock purchase agreement with David Portnoy (the “Barstool SPA”) on August 8, 2023. Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN sold 100% of the outstanding shares of Barstool to David Portnoy in exchange for a nominal cash consideration ($1.00 dollar) and certain non-compete and other restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN has the right to receive 50% of the gross proceeds received by David Portnoy in any subsequent sale or other monetization event of Barstool.

On August 8, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the sale to David Portnoy and we classified the assets and liabilities to be disposed in connection with the Barstool SPA as held-for-sale which are measured at the lower of (i) the carrying value when we classified the disposal group as held-for-sale and (ii) the fair value of the disposal group, less costs to sell. The classification of the Barstool business as held-for-sale was considered an event or change in circumstance which requires an assessment of the goodwill and intangible assets of the disposal group for impairment each reporting period until disposal. We are currently quantifying the impact of the Barstool SPA to our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, however we expect the carrying value of the net assets held-for-sale to be greater than their fair value, less costs to sell, which is expected to result in a material non-cash loss and the corresponding reversal of the net deferred tax liability of approximately $115.9 million that will have a significant impact to income taxes. See Note 11, “Income Taxes.” The pre-tax non-cash loss on disposal is estimated to be between $800.0 million and $850.0 million (inclusive of $705.0 million to $720.0 million in goodwill and intangible assets write offs) to be incurred in the third quarter of 2023. These material adjustments will be reflected in our September 30, 2023 unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

CFRA MAINTAINS BUY OPINION ON SHARES OF PENN ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
12:26 pm ET August 9, 2023 (CFRA)
We maintain our 12-month price target of $44, based on 6.8x our EBITDA estimate, below the company's 10-year average forward EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.4x but more in line with its pre-pandemic multiple. We maintain our 2023 and 2024 EPS estimates of $1.75 and $2.00, respectively. PENN posts normalized Q2 EPS of $0.48 vs. $0.15, $0.09 above consensus estimates on revenues of $1.67B vs. $1.63B and $11M above estimates. By segment, Northeast revenues were flat Y/Y, South declined 9%, West declined 15%, Midwest declined 1%, and Interactive grew 66%. PENN announced it is partnering with ESPN to rebrand barstool sports online sportsbook to ESPN Bet for $1.5B over 10 years and $500M in warrants up front with additional performance warrants based on market share gains. We believe the deal can bring the newly branded OSB into the top 3 in market share across the U.S. and Canada over the next five years. PENN will leverage ESPN to acquire new customers and we expect significant market share gains. We see value in shares.

Barstool Divestiture

PENN Divests Barstool Sports to Founder David Portnoy: PENN sold 100% of the Barstool Sports, Inc. ("Barstool") common stock to David Portnoy in exchange for certain non-compete and other restrictive covenants. PENN also has the right to receive 50% of the gross proceeds received by David Portnoy in any subsequent sale or other monetization event of Barstool

Jay Snowden, Chief Executive Officer and President of PENN, commented, "This transformative, exclusive agreement with ESPN marks another major milestone in PENN's evolution from a pure-play U.S. regional gaming operator to a North American entertainment leader. ESPN Bet will be deeply integrated with ESPN's broad editorial, content, digital and linear product, and sports programming ecosystem. ESPN Bet will also benefit from PENN's operational experience, extensive market access and proprietary technology platform, which successfully debuted in the U.S. this July."

Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman of ESPN, said, "After meeting with Jay and the PENN team, it was clear that they were the right long-term strategic partner to build ESPN Bet into a leading U.S. sports betting platform. We are confident that the combination of our unparalleled audience along with PENN's operational expertise and state-of-the-art technology provides us with a tremendous opportunity to serve the ever-growing number of consumers interested in betting."

Mr. Snowden continued, "In connection with the transaction, we are selling Barstool back to founder David Portnoy. Barstool has been a great partner and we are thankful to Dave Portnoy, Erika Ayers, Dan Katz and their team for helping to rapidly scale our digital footprint across 16 jurisdictions in the U.S. and introducing their audience to our retail and digital products. The divestiture allows Barstool to return to its roots of providing unique and authentic content to its loyal audience without the restrictions associated with a publicly traded, licensed gaming company."

"Our agreement with ESPN will provide us access to the largest ecosystem in sports, with 105 million+ monthly unique digital visitors, an audience of more than 370 million across social platforms, 25 million ESPN+ subscribers, and the nation's #1 fantasy database. PENN's ability to leverage the leading sports media brands in both the U.S. and Canada with ESPN and theScore, combined with our newly launched sports betting app, will allow us to significantly expand our digital footprint and catapult ESPN Bet into a strong podium position in this space. We believe we can achieve substantial adjusted EBITDA in our Interactive Segment over the coming years - and this will translate to very strong free cash flow generation for the Company and value creation for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Snowden.

Been adding since $23, average $23.84. I think earnings will be good next week. Possibly back in to $30s, blowout earnings even higher.

This is one sh’tty stock & Dave Portnoy the thirsty sexual predator is giving company a bad reputation ! I’m shorting this POS down to $20. Penn shares have fallen 40% since the news first broke that Dave was a thirsty sexual predator back in November & shares will go lower in the future as more stories come out in the future about Dave’s thirstiness.

Rip consolidation coming to the industry. DraftKings cleaning it’s act up and FanDuel run very well. Penn better be careful. Doesn’t take much to lose customers and go under in these uncertain times.

Don’t give two titties about your opinion

This stock is floundering. Might come back in 1-2 years. Not 2022. Never happen. Sorry

Think not

How is that working for you???

$44 is the 200-day MA on the weekly chart. Current rate of descent looks like it gets tested by end of week.

Bust through the roof tomorrow.

PENN sucks! Still not bottoming.

Think not

Think we bottoming in this area

Portnoy going down. Taking Peen along with him. Association. Sorry go Penn. Portnoy has to step aside from all his bizness and see what happens. He’s an egoist. Wack job. Hope he move to Pakistan

Nobody pressed charges on Portnoy. He just needs to stay away from airhead girls that's all!

Penn got hit with the Hurricane shutting down the casinos.

Like I said Penn back to $70’s by year's end.

Tell me you didn't watch the emergency broadcast without telling me you didn't watch the emergency broadcast.

Wish I could be you 10k straight up that will never happen. Easy money for me. Wow

Lol. Mr One Bite will just fine and Penn will be $70 plus by year's end.

Portnoy is in big trouble. I think these sexual allegations will destroy his reputation and since PENN is mentioned with him. Here comes $15.00 SP in next couple of months. This guy is Toxic relight now. I’m contacting the lawyers and joining a ton of shareholders!

Portnoy doing a live "emergency" meeting on sexual assault allegation. Basically a rehash of his 12-minute video he released previously.

He's more lathered up this go around though. Stock price seems to be responding positively to it.

https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1yoKMWdOQLzJQ

56.35 is my buy signal.

Portnoy strongly implies insider trading.

I'm in at $61.50 for the bounce.

Buy all day long at these prices

All BS... he's got money, and he's not a wacko lib is the reason they went after him in the 1st place. These women should all be locked up for this setup.

Cancel Culture BS crowd can go to hell!!!

not good....

but what an investor does in their personal sex life with other legal aged people shouldnt affect the companies stock like this

it looks like an obvious coordinated short attack

perv!
