Shares of hotel companies are trading lower amid overall market uncertainty after President Trump confirmed March 4 tariffs. Tariffs could create negative sentiment for travel plans with American destinations.

New Jersey's latest budget proposal could shake up the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting">online sports betting (OSB)</a> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming">and iGaming landscape</a>. 
JPMorgan analyst Joseph Greff is ringing the alarm. Governor Phil Murphy's fiscal year 2026 budget plan includes a tax rate hike for OSB and iGaming operators, jumping to 25% from 13% and 15%, respectively.
While this isn't a done deal — last year's proposed increase to 30% failed — the governor's endorsement raises the odds of some form of tax bump passing this time.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DraftKings Feels The Heat</h2>
If implemented by July 2025, Greff estimates that DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) could take a $52 million to $57 million EBITDA hit next year. That's roughly 5% to 6% of its projected 2025 EBITDA midpoint of $950 million — no small change.
Investors may recall DraftKings already bracing for a $50 million hit in the second half of 2024 due to Illinois' tax hike. This latest proposal would add another hurdle for the sports betting giant.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Operators In The Crosshairs</h2>
It's not just DraftKings feeling the squeeze. 
BetMGM, a subsidiary of MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>), could see a $35 million to $39 million EBITDA impact.
On the other hand, Caesars Digital, a unit of Caesars Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) and PENN Entertainment Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>) Penn Interactive would take smaller, yet still noticeable, hits of $15 million to $16 million and $3 million to $4 million, respectively.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Implications: Who Comes Out On Top?</h2>
While tax increases are never welcome news, Greff suggests that the biggest players — like DraftKings and BetMGM — are best positioned to weather the storm. Their scale and brand power provide some cushion against regulatory shifts.
Additionally, states looking to plug budget gaps could accelerate iGaming legislation, potentially creating new market opportunities. For investors, keeping an eye on legislative developments in New Jersey and beyond could be key to navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.

<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind Caesars Entertainment</h2>
Caesars Entertainment includes about 50 domestic gaming properties across Las Vegas (49% of 2023 EBITDAR before corporate expenses) and regional (48%) markets. Additionally, the company hosts managed properties and digital assets, the later of which produced marginal EBITDA in 2023. Caesars' US presence roughly doubled with the 2020 acquisition by Eldorado, which built its first casino in Reno, Nevada, in 1973 and expanded its presence through prior acquisitions to over 20 properties before merging with legacy Caesars. Caesars' brands include Caesars, Harrah's, Tropicana, Bally's, Isle, and Flamingo. Also, the company owns the US portion of William Hill (it sold the international operation in 2022), a digital sports betting platform.
<h3>Understanding the Numbers: Caesars Entertainment's Finances</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company's market capitalization is above the industry average, indicating that it is relatively larger in size compared to peers. This may suggest a higher level of investor confidence and market recognition.
Revenue Growth: Caesars Entertainment's revenue growth over a period of 3 months has faced challenges. As of 30 September, 2024, the company experienced a revenue decline of approximately -4.01%. This indicates a decrease in the company's top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Consumer Discretionary sector.
Net Margin: The company's net margin is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in achieving strong profitability. With a net margin of -0.31%, the company may need to address challenges in effective cost control.
Return on Equity (ROE): Caesars Entertainment's financial strength is reflected in its exceptional ROE, which exceeds industry averages. With a remarkable ROE of -0.21%, the company showcases efficient use of equity capital and strong financial health.
Return on Assets (ROA): Caesars Entertainment's ROA falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of -0.03%, the company may face hurdles in generating optimal returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Caesars Entertainment's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 6.08. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.
