Macquarie Equity Research analyst Chad Beynon said online gaming companies are likely to beat expectations in the second quarter of 2025, as the outlook for the year improves despite<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45868110/draftkings-dkng-stock-rises-as-rival-fanduel-announces-illinois-betting-fee" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> ongoing regulatory challenges.</a>
Beynon noted that online gaming stocks have climbed 12% over the past month—outpacing the S&amp;P 500's 4% gain—despite ongoing regulatory noise in the U.S.
The analyst attributed the rally to strong online sports betting (OSB) hold rates, especially in June, which are tracking around 13% mid-month.

Nintendo Handheld Gaming Console Includes Nvidia Vs. AMD Battle: Which One Will Come Out On Top?</a>
For the second quarter of 2025, Beynon now expects an industry-wide hold rate of roughly 11%, with potential record gains for DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) (up 150 basis points year-over-year) and Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>) (up 80 basis points), based on New York market data.
Beynon highlighted that regulatory developments remain a key concern. After Illinois introduced a roughly 50-cent per-bet tax on online sports betting starting July 1—and both Flutter and DraftKings confirmed they'll pass this cost on to users by Sept. 1—attention has turned to New Jersey.
Investors are closely watching for potential updates next week, as the state considers raising tax rates on sports betting and iCasino, which would make it the fourth this session to increase taxes on online operators.
Maryland and Louisiana have already raised their sports betting taxes to 20% and 21.5%, respectively, and Beynon expects New Jersey to follow with a 5–7 percentage point hike to 20–22%.
Beynon said the 2025 outlook for the online gaming market remains positive, despite rising tax pressures.
He pointed to three key drivers: strong second-quarter sports betting hold rates, faster growth in betting volume, and better-than-expected gains in iGaming.
As a result, the analyst now projects 2025 online gross gaming revenue to grow 25% year-over-year, up from his earlier estimate of 20%.
Overall, Beynon named several top picks in the online gaming sector.
He highlighted Sportradar Group AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRAD#NASDAQ">SRAD</a>) and Genius Sports Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GENI#NYSE">GENI</a>) as lower-volatility ways to gain exposure to global sports betting, with strong potential from the U.S. shift toward in-play wagering.
DraftKings, with full North American exposure and a leading market share, offers the most upside from further U.S. legalization and potential international growth.
He also favors Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSI#NYSE">RSI</a>) for its small-cap appeal, lower sensitivity to sports hold rates, and strong iGaming niche in Canada and Latin America.
Lastly, Flutter stands out for its unmatched global footprint, best-in-class hold, and a successful M&amp;A strategy.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

SATS

EchoStar shares are trading higher after the company confirmed President Trump encouraged it and the FCC chair to reach a deal over its wireless spectrum licenses, and after WSJ reported EchoStar is making delayed interest payments, averting default.

Bank of America Securities (BofA) analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich maintained a Buy rating on Walt Disney (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DIS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast</a> of $140 on Friday, signaling confidence in the entertainment giant&#8217;s ongoing recovery, particularly within its crucial Experiences segment.
Reif Ehrlich projects a sequential improvement in the Experiences segment&#8217;s operating income (OI) for Disney&#8217;s fiscal third quarter, with an anticipated acceleration in the fiscal fourth quarter, supported by easier year-over-year comparisons.
This segment, a primary driver of Disney&#8217;s overall OI, has recently navigated challenges, including tough comparables, wage inflation, and significant pre-opening costs associated with new cruise ships.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45251203/disney-rides-strong-subscriber-growth-and-movie-hits-lifts-forecast-with-1-billion-streaming-goal" rel="noreferrer noopener">Disney Lifts Forecast With $1 Billion Streaming Goal, Abu Dhabi Park Deal And More</a>
Adding to these headwinds were broader macroeconomic concerns and the impending launch of Universal&#8217;s Epic Universe, which had previously amplified investor anxieties regarding the segment&#8217;s trajectory.
However, the analyst notes a positive shift, indicating that the Experiences segment is now performing at least in line with fiscal 2025 expectations. This optimism is further bolstered by a robust pipeline of new cruise ships, which are expected to contribute significantly to results in the coming years.
In the advertising landscape, Sports remains a standout performer for Disney, demonstrating sustained strength relative to other categories. Furthermore, Reif Ehrlich expects Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) net subscriber additions to be modestly positive in the fiscal third quarter, aligning with the company&#8217;s own guidance.
Following a strong earnings beat last quarter, Disney raised its fiscal 2025 EPS guidance to $5.75. Reif Ehrlich believes this revised guidance is highly achievable, attributing this confidence to the fact that Disney&#8217;s prior earnings report coincided with peak uncertainty surrounding tariffs, which had previously obscured visibility.
Moreover, while DTC will likely be an investment year, she noted there will be some discretion around the magnitude of spend and momentum thus far in the parks (a key concern heading into the year), which should be positive for underlying fundamentals.
For the fiscal third quarter, Reif Ehrlich has slightly adjusted her estimates, lowering revenue to $24.0 billion (from $24.1 billion), OI to $4.33 billion (from $4.39 billion), and EPS to $1.39 (from $1.42).
These revisions are primarily due to the disappointing box office performance of Pixar&#8217;s Elio, which had a record-low opening for the studio.
Despite these near-term adjustments, the analyst has maintained her full fiscal 2025 OI estimate of $17.6 billion and EPS of $5.75, consistent with company guidance.
Price Actions: DIS stock is trading higher by 1.05% to $122.76 at&nbsp;last check Friday.

A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-stocks">novice investor</a> claims he made over $200,000 in just one week trading options, saying the experience has made it hard to return to everyday life.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Starting With $55,000</h2>
The investor revealed he began trading just three months ago with $55,000. He confirmed that his gains came from selling SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) call and put credit spreads, often using <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45308441/risk-appetite-hits-record-high-0dte-options-hit-67-of-total-volumes2-million-average-contracts-in-q1">0DTE</a>—zero days to expiration— contracts. His screenshots showed multiple positions closed on June 20 with returns ranging from 36% to 72%.
0DTEs are trades that expire the same day they&#8217;re made. They&#8217;re popular with short-term traders looking to profit from quick market moves within hours.&nbsp;
&#8220;It made me understand that normal people are selling their time for money, and the rich are buying their time with money,&#8221; he commented later. He admitted that the rush of winning large trades changed how he thinks about work and life altogether. &#8220;I do not believe I can go back to normal life.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Warning From Those Who&#8217;ve Been There</h2>
Dozens of users who had experienced similar wins warned that it rarely lasts. &#8220;I did something similar back in 2020,&#8221; one wrote. &#8220;I felt like a genius and started drinking my own Kool-Aid. Then I lost half of what I made and it's been a five-year slog to get back.&#8221;
Another said: &#8220;Be careful. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41234906/if-you-want-to-be-a-millionaire-stop-doing-the-9-5-grant-cardone-says-working-40-hours-a-week-on">Going back to a 9-to-5</a> is really, really f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ing hard.&#8221;
The OP responded with appreciation: &#8220;Thank you for the advice, especially for someone who has tread this path before me. I will consider this, brother.&#8221;
While many were urging caution, a few users encouraged him to keep trading, saying things like, &#8220;Race ain&#8217;t over till you have $2.5 million after tax,&#8221; and &#8220;Don't quit, keep going until you get a million.&#8221;

But the majority were clearly worried.

The top comment, with over 15,000 upvotes, was straightforward: &#8220;Bro, stop and restart with 10k, get your life situated. You'll never regret it.&#8221;
By the end of the thread, he said he intended to withdraw at least $100,000 and was weighing his options. &#8220;I believe making $200,000 in one month is significant and advances my timetable for retirement,&#8221; he wrote.
For now, he seems to be sitting at the intersection of life-changing luck and community-driven wisdom.

Cloud infrastructure provider CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) is in renewed discussions to acquire Bitcoin miner Core Scientific Inc., <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46122921/core-scientific-stock-surges-on-acquisition-reports-with-coreweave">according to reports</a>. Here&#8217;s why the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CRWV/news">has been volatile</a>.
What To Know: This potential merger has drawn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46137965/crwv-corz-potential-deal-could-unlock-2-8-billion-hidden-value-for-bitcoin-miner-says-morgan-stanley">significant interest</a>, with a Morgan Stanley forecast suggesting the deal could boost Core Scientific's market capitalization by an impressive $2.8 billion.
This new takeover attempt, reported by the Wall Street Journal, could see a deal finalized within weeks. The development comes about a year after Core Scientific, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46128583/crypto-mining-stocks-surge-thursday-what-happened">now valued</a> at approximately $4.87 billion, rejected a $5.75 per share offer from CoreWeave, which it deemed an undervaluation.
The two companies are already connected through a significant 12-year, $10 billion hosting partnership. Analysis <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46137965/crwv-corz-potential-deal-could-unlock-2-8-billion-hidden-value-for-bitcoin-miner-says-morgan-stanley">shared</a> by Eric Jackson of EMJ Capital highlights that Core Scientific reaps a highly favorable 75%-80% profit margin from this existing contract. This suggests potential profits of around $7.75 billion, a figure that eclipses Core Scientific's current market capitalization.
The acquisition talks underscore the intense demand for data center capacity and power, driven by the artificial intelligence sector. CoreWeave, a company valued at roughly $75.87 billion with major clients like Microsoft and Meta, is seeking to expand its infrastructure.
Price Action: CRWV shares are trading higher by 5.24% to $166.49 Friday afternoon. The stock has a 52-week high of $187.00 and a 52-week low of $33.52.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy CRWV Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for CoreWeave &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of CoreWeave, which is trading at $165.01 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.61 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management is cranking up the volume in fixed income. Thursday, the company debuted two new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">actively managed ETFs</a>, the Goldman Sachs Core Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBND#NYSE">GBND</a>) and the Goldman Sachs Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIGL#NYSE">GIGL</a>), as investor interest moves toward more active approaches in a volatile rate landscape.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case For Active Fixed Income</h2>
In a backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty and rate whiplash, advisers are reconsidering their bond allocations. Passive techniques, though cost-effective, can miss the responsiveness that&#8217;s necessary in today&#8217;s bond market. That is where active managers like Goldman Sachs perceive an opportunity.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GBND: A Flexible Core Holding</h3>
The Goldman Sachs Core Bond ETF is constructed to be a foundation for diversified portfolios. It provides exposure to investment-grade fixed income asset classes, government bonds, corporates, and securitized debt, through a dual objective of capital appreciation as well as income generation. The ETF has a 0.25% net expense ratio, making it a competitive active peer.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GIGL: Focusing On Corporate Credit</h3>
For those looking for more focused corporate bond exposure, the Goldman Sachs Corporate Bond ETF does just that. It is largely invested in investment-grade corporate debt with the room to venture into high-yield when it makes sense. GIGL charges a 0.29% fee, reflecting its active, tactical strategy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Demand for Active Strategies</h2>
This launch comes amid a sea change in investor preferences. According to ETFGI, in May, actively managed fixed-income ETFs pulled in a staggering $82 billion in net inflows, nearly double the $43 billion recorded during the same period in 2024, and a record $17 billion in inflows that month alone. The asset base for active ETFs has grown to approximately $1.39 trillion, marking 62 consecutive months of net inflows.
Why the change? With Fed uncertainty, inflation persistence, and geopolitical noise circulating, investors seek instantaneous flexibility—active managers can adjust credit quality, duration, and sector exposures in real-time. This flexibility enables funds to adjust their exposure by credit quality and duration during periods of heightened volatility.
Giant players are taking notice: Vanguard is reducing bond ETF fees to remain competitive, BlackRock is ramping up active options in Europe and the U.S., and J.P. Morgan has just rolled out a $2 billion high-yield active ETF. Goldman&#8217;s new ETFs are backed by powerful tailwinds.
With GBND and GIGL, Goldman is wagering that additional investors crave experienced eyes on the fixed income terrain, not simply a set-it-and-forget-it index.

Nearly every S&amp;P sector closed in the green except for energy, which lagged sharply as oil prices headed for their worst weekly drop since March 2023. The easing of military tensions in the Middle East helped pull crude lower, capping a volatile stretch for commodities.
Gold also saw selling pressure, dropping 1.6% to $3,270 per ounce, as traders rotated into risk assets and shrugged off traditional safe havens.
The U.S. dollar extended its losing streak to a seventh straight session, dragging the U.S. Dollar Index to its lowest level since February 2022 — just before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The dollar is now on track for its worst first half of a year since 1991, weighed down by dovish Fed expectations and U.S. fiscal uncertainties.

Shares of Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) rallied during Friday&#8217;s trading session after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46143305/nike-stock-is-climbing-higher-friday-whats-going-on">upbeat fiscal fourth-quarter results on Thursday</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
BofA Securities On Nike
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59947083803ad3000162314b/lorraine-hutchinson">Analyst Lorraine Hutchinson</a> reiterated a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $80 to $84.
Nike's sales are poised to improve, and the company could return to growth in the back half of the year, Hutchinson said in a note. Management indicated that Nike witnessed the "worst sales and margin pressure from its turnaround strategy" in the fourth quarter, she added.
The company guided to a gross margin contraction in the fiscal first quarter, which reflects "tariff headwind, ongoing DTC clearance and product and channel mix headwinds," the analyst wrote. Gross margins could improve in the second quarter and there is "upside to our estimates as Nike laps significant promos in both DTC and wholesale with new innovation," she further stated.
Goldman Sachs On Nike
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60eef53155f722000105d101/brooke-roach">Analyst Brooke Roach</a> maintained a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $72 to $81.
Nike reported an earnings beat for the latest quarter and provided "better-than-feared forward commentary against a backdrop of low investor expectations," Roach said.
The company continues to face strong earnings pressure and its recovery could take time, especially in China, the analyst stated. She added, however, that management believes that the worst is over and indicated "several greenshoots within its performance portfolio."

Needham On Nike
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5846ee56ee7bf6000154d12e/tom-nikic">Analyst Tom Nikic</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $56 to $78.
Nike's fourth-quarter results were better than feared, and gave hope that the worst was over, Nikic said. The company is now re-focusing on performance products to drive improvement, he added.
Nike has also recognized the importance of its key wholesale partners, the analyst stated. While margins continue to be under pressure, this is expected to moderate in the back half of the year, he further mentioned.
Telsey Advisory Group On Nike
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5f9ab74825a7ef0001015b59/cristina-fernandez">Analyst Cristina Fernández</a> reaffirmed a Market Perform rating and price target of $70.
Nike&#8217;s quarterly results had "several encouraging data points," Fernández said. The company reported sales and earnings ahead of expectations, while the gross margin contraction was as anticipated, she added.
The running category, where Nike has innovated the most, grew by high single digits globally, the analyst stated. "Nike noted its wholesale order book is positive for the holiday season, partially due to door expansion," she further wrote.
NKE Price Action: Shares of Nike were up 15.5% to $72.24 at the time of publication on Friday.
