Macquarie Maintains Outperform on PENN Entertainment, Raises Price Target to $27

PENN Entertainment (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>) analysts highlight the ESPN Bet and Interactive segment as items to watch after the company missed third-quarter estimates for revenue and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41814090/penn-entertainment-stock-climbs-despite-q3-earnings-miss-whats-going-on">earnings per share. </a>
The PENN Analysts: 
<ul>
<li>Needham analyst Bernie McTernan reiterated a Buy rating on Penn Entertainment with a $26 price target.</li>
<li>Truist analyst Barry Jonas reiterated a Buy rating with a $23 price target.</li>
<li>Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey maintained a Hold rating with no price target.</li>

Needham on PENN: ESPN Bet showed improvement in the third quarter, McTernan said in a new investor note.
"The highlight on earnings for us were the strong underlying fundamentals for ESPN Bet in October, with handle growth showing acceleration from September to October," McTernan said.
ESPN Bet saw handle growth up 61% year-over-year in October, up from +42% in the third quarter, McTernan added.
Penn also reported early strength from its ESPN and ESPN Bet linking initiative, the analyst added.
The analyst said Penn's online sports betting segment could see improvement in 2025 and the iGaming segment could benefit from the launch of a standalone Hollywood Casino app.
McTernan remains cautious and conservative on Penn's Interactive segment and expects continued losses in 2025.
Truist on PENN: An in-line third quarter will likely carry over to the fourth quarter with early momentum showing, Jonas said in a new investor note.
"All eyes remain on ESPN Bet, with encouraging KPIs as PENN continues to improve the product," Jonas said.
The analyst said Penn is working to improve the ESPN bet product and fourth-quarter results could show the efforts paying off.
Penn will provide 2025 guidance in February, with the analyst expecting the company to be "playing defense" until the relocated Hollywood Casino Joliet opens in the second half of 2025.
"Penn moves increasingly on offense into 2026."
Benchmark on PENN: Third-quarter results were "weak" and the company faces rising competition and high expenses in new markets, Hickey said in a new investor note.
"We believe it is unlikely that PENN will reach breakeven in the Interactive segment in 2025 as projected, unless they either shift focus away from market share growth or hold back on investments in new markets," Hickey said.
The ESPN Bet launch in New York and ESPN account-linking could help the Interactive segment, but Hickey cautions that Penn needs to show market share gains and operating growth.
The analyst said Penn's retail segment also saw disappointing results, with revenue declines in multiple regions.
PENN Price Action: Penn stock is up 0.6% to $20.35 on Friday, versus a 52-week trading range of $13.50 to $27.20. Penn stock is down 21% year-to-date in 2024.

PENN Entertainment shares are trading higher. The company reported Q3 financial results.

PENN Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PENN#NASDAQ">PENN</a>) reported third-quarter financial results before the market opened on Thursday. Here&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PENN/earnings"> what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: PENN reported an adjusted loss of 25 cents per share, missing estimates for a loss of 24 cents per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.64 billion, slightly below expectations of $1.66 billion, but up 1.24% from $1.62 billion in the same period last year.
As of Sept. 30, PENN had total liquidity of $1.8 billion, including $834 million in cash. The company said it has been investing in both physical and digital upgrades, especially through its ESPN BET platform, which expanded to 19 U.S. states this quarter after launching in New York in September.
PENN also said its accelerating hotel room renovations at L&#8217;Auberge Casino Lake Charles, with the upgrades expected to wrap up by January 2025. According to CEO Jay Snowden, these moves are part of PENN's broader strategy to improve customer retention and revenue per customer.
&#8220;Stable consumer demand in our retail business was offset by unfavorable hold in our Northeast segment and volume declines in our South segment associated with severe weather disruptions and accelerated hotel remodeling. The fourth quarter is off to a stronger start, led by several markets including Michigan, Ohio, and St. Louis,&#8221; Snowden said.
Outlook: PENN remains focused on expanding its Interactive offerings, with plans to launch an iCasino app in Pennsylvania in early 2025, pending regulatory approval. The company said its development projects are on schedule, with Hollywood Joliet expected to open ahead of plan in the latter half of 2025.
PENN Price Action: Penn Entertainment shares were up 4.04% at $20.02 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

<a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/antitrust/doj-backs-suit-accusing-vegas-hotels-of-algorithmic-price-fixing">https://news.bloomberglaw.com/antitrust/doj-backs-suit-accusing-vegas-hotels-of-algorithmic-price-fixing</a>
<ul>
<li>DOJ says use of algorithms can have anticompetitive effects</li>
<li>Plaintiffs filed appeal after district court dismissed case</li>
</ul>
The Justice Department filed an amicus brief supporting customers who accused Ceasars Entertainment Inc. and other Las Vegas hotel companies of using algorithms to fix prices.
"Pricing algorithms can process more information more rapidly than humans aided by prior communications technologies," the DOJ said in a brief <a href="https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/document/GibsonetalvCendynGroupLLCetalDocketNo2435769thCirJun072024CourtDo/1?doc_id=X1C3FTC0O19985PKTQSAR19NQ0H">filed</a> Thursday in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. "For this reason, such algorithms can increase the means and opportunities for collusion among competitors."
The Vegas case is the first of its kind to reach a federal appeals court and is expected to impact similar suits going forward.
A group of consumer plaintiffs who stayed at various Vegas hotels filed an <a href="https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/document/GibsonetalvCendynGroupLLCetalDocketNo2435769thCirJun072024CourtDo?doc_id=XN44RIOULS87MRO4N2HPLUJE1C">appeal</a> to the Ninth Circuit after Judge Miranda Du of the US District Court for the District of Nevada <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/antitrust/caesars-other-vegas-hotels-win-dismissal-of-price-fixing-suit">dismissed</a> the case in May, saying they failed to plausibly allege a tacit agreement between the hotels to inflate room prices using algorithms built by the Rainmaker Group, a Cendyn Group LLC subsidiary.
In her ruling, Du said she reached her <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/antitrust/las-vegas-ruling-offers-roadmap-for-ai-clashes-with-antitrust">decision</a> because the hotel-casinos signed up for the pricing software services at different times and the hotels weren't bound by the software's recommendations. A nearly identical suit accusing Atlantic City hotel-casinos was <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/antitrust/hotel-casino-rulings-reveal-flaws-in-ai-price-fixing-allegations">dismissed</a> late last month on similar grounds.
The DOJ rejected Du's notion that the freedom to reject the software's pricing recommendations meant no collusion took place.

<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind PENN Entertainment</h2>
Penn Entertainment's origins date back to its 1972 racetrack opening in Pennsylvania. Today, Penn operates 43 properties across 20 states and 12 brands, including Hollywood Casino and Ameristar. Land-based casinos represented 89% of total sales in 2023; 11% was from the interactive segment, which includes sports, iGaming, and media revenue. The retail portfolio generates mid-30s EBITDAR margins and helps position the company to obtain licenses for the digital wagering markets. Additionally, Penn's media assets, theScore and ESPN (starting with its partnership launch in November 2023), provide access to sports betting/iGaming technology and clientele, helping it form a leading digital position.
