Looking At Caesars Entertainment's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Casino stocks are entering a period of seasonal strength, fueled by a surge in sports betting, increased travel during spring break, and a potential spending <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gaming">boost from tax refunds.</a>
Seasonax data shows that four major casino operators rank among the top-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks between March 20 and April 20, based on two decades of market trends.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Strong Seasonal Pattern For Casino Stocks</h3>
Shares of Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NYSE">CZR</a>) have posted an average return of 7.4% during this period over the past 20 years, making it the fourth-best performing S&amp;P 500 stock. 
MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) follows closely with 6.59% average gains.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>) and Wynn Resorts Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NYSE">WYNN</a>) also show strong seasonality, with respective average gains of 5.63% and 5.24% in this timeframe.
Historical data suggests this could be one of the strongest months for gaming stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">March Madness: A Billion-Dollar Betting Event</h3>
The NCAA March Madness tournament is one of the largest sports betting events in the U.S., generating billions in wagers. Sportsbooks—both online and in physical casinos—see massive betting volume. 
The American Gaming Association estimates that Americans will legally wager $3.1 billion on the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s March Madness tournaments in 2025, an increase from $2.7 billion in 2024.
This surge in activity often translates into stronger Q1 results for casino operators.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Spring Break Brings Tourists and Big Spending</h3>
March and April mark peak spring break travel, driving increased foot traffic in key gambling destinations like Las Vegas and Atlantic City. 
Higher occupancy rates at resorts and casinos boost gaming revenue and non-gaming spending, benefiting companies such as Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts.
Hotel room rates and casino floor activity typically see an uptick, reinforcing seasonal gains in gaming stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Positioning for Strong Q1 Earnings</h3>
The spike in betting activity and travel spending during March often sets up casino stocks for a strong earnings season in April. Investors tend to anticipate robust first-quarter results, which can push stock prices higher leading into earnings reports.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. is set to report its quarterly earnings on Apr. 16, a key event that could set the tone for the broader casino and gaming industry.
Other major casino operators, including Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International, and Wynn Resorts, are scheduled to release their earnings reports in early May.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The April Effect: Tax Refunds and Consumer Spending</h3>
Another key driver of seasonal gains is the arrival of tax refunds in March and April. 
Historically, discretionary spending rises during this period, with some of that extra cash flowing into casinos, sports betting, and entertainment venues.
For many Americans, tax refunds act as an additional source of disposable income, contributing to higher gaming revenue. This effect could further support the positive seasonal trend seen in casino stocks.

Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.

Analyst Ratings

12 Analysts Have This To Say About Caesars Entertainment

The latest market downturn has left many investors questioning whether this is a temporary dip or the beginning of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">a prolonged bear market.</a>
Yet, an eye-opening indicator suggests that opportunities may be more abundant than feared—95% of S&amp;P 500 stocks currently hold a median analyst price target above their latest trading price, signaling significant upside potential across the board.
Notably, two Magnificent Seven stocks—Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)—rank among the top when comparing the gap between Wall Street&#8217;s median price target and current prices, a quite uncommon event for tech giants that traditionally trade at valuation premiums.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is This A Market Bottom Or A Value Trap?</h3>
The S&amp;P 500 officially entered correction territory last week, leaving investors to wonder whether the worst is over or if further downside awaits.
Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, has been one of the more bullish voices on Wall Street. Last week, he raised his probability of a bearish scenario from 20% to 35%. That forecast includes the possibility of a recession or stagflation—a combination of stagnant growth and inflation.
Yardeni also acknowledged the possibility that a bear market may have begun on Feb. 20, the day after the S&amp;P 500 reached a record high. This shift in sentiment led him to lower his year-end 2025 S&amp;P 500 target from 7,000 to 6,400.
From a technical standpoint, only 41% of S&amp;P 500 stocks are trading above their 200-day moving average, signaling that most have fallen below a key trend support level, potentially confirming a bearish phase.
Yet, long-term market data provides a reason for optimism. 
Jeffrey Buchbinder, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial, points out that market corrections—defined as a decline of 10% or more—occur every 1.1 years on average, dating back to 1928. 
&#8220;Corrections also tend to produce attractive buying opportunities&#8221;
Since 1950, the S&amp;P 500 has experienced an average intra-year drawdown of a negative 13.7%, yet it has still managed to post an average annual gain of 9.5%, with 73% of those years ending in positive territory. 
Even in years when the index experienced an intra-year decline of 10% to 20%, the average annual return was still 8.4%, with 64% of those years finishing higher.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Which Stocks Have The Biggest Upside?</h3>
Based on current analyst price targets, several stocks stand out for their potential gains. 
Deckers Outdoor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) leads the list, with a median price target nearly 95% higher than its last price. First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) follows closely, with a projected upside of 93%.
Notably, Tesla and Nvidia, two of the most closely watched growth stocks, also rank high on the list. Analysts see Tesla's price target at $371.50, representing a 64.9% upside, while Nvidia's median price target sits at $175, implying a 51.6% gain from current levels.
Other stocks with significant upside potential include:
<ul>
<li>Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) &#8211; 81.4% potential upside</li>
<li>Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDC#NASDAQ">WDC</a>) &#8211; 80.4% potential upside</li>
<li>United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) &#8211; 80.2% potential upside</li>
<li>Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) &#8211; 72.0% potential upside</li>

Caesars Entertainment Announces The Addition Of 2 New Independent Directors To Its Board Of Directors; Jesse Lynn, General Counsel, And Ted Papapostolou, CFO Of Icahn Enterprises, Will Join The Caesars Board Effective Immediately

BofA Securities analyst disclosed views about the future of prediction <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color" rel="noreferrer noopener">markets for online sports betting</a>.
Since December 2024, prediction markets such as Kalshi, Crypto.com, and Polymarket have significantly impacted the U.S. sports betting industry, introducing an increasing variety of markets and betting options on a national scale, writes the analyst.
The analyst says that this trend, combined with an evolving regulatory environment, presents an area that both online sports betting (OSB) operators and investors should monitor closely.
Talking about the best scenario, the analyst writes that prediction markets can enhance the sports betting sector by attracting new customers, expanding the total addressable market (TAM), and creating a convergence between sports betting and financial technology.
The analyst sees opportunities for collaboration between these technologies, and the forthcoming regulatory guidance from the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in late March or early April could drive further interest in this nascent field.
Notably, on 2/5, the CFTC revealed plans for a roundtable discussion on prediction markets to gather input from key stakeholders as it works on refining its regulatory framework.
This event is anticipated to occur approximately 45 days after the February 5th announcement (specific date has not been confirmed) and the 90-day review period for Crypto.com's sports contracts will conclude in mid-April, adds the analyst.
The analyst notes that these events are expected to provide essential clarity on the regulatory landscape for sports-related prediction markets.
On the other hand, the analyst says that there is potential for legal challenges under CFTC regulations and the Wire Act.
On March 5, Nevada issued a cease-and-desist order to Kalshi, requiring them to stop offering event-based contracts on sports and elections by March 14 (extended at Kalshi&#8217;s request). California tribes have raised concerns about prediction markets impacting tribal sovereignty, notes the analyst.

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.

New Jersey's Tax Hike Gambit: DraftKings, BetMGM Brace For Impact

All three major indices were green in midday trading Wednesday as the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 looked to snap their four-day losing streaks. NVIDIA Corp.

<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.

火曜日、Caesars Entertainment Inc（NASDAQ：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>）は第2四半期の業績を発表し、株価が上昇している。リリースの<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b40049728/caesars-entertainment-inc-reports-second-quarter-2024-results">詳細について見てみよう。</a>
概要 Caesars Entertainmentは28億ドルの四半期売上高を報告し、これはアナリスト予想の28.67億ドルから1.28%低い数字で、昨年同四半期に比べて1.7%減少した。同社は1株あたり13セントの利益のコンセンサス予想を下回し、0ドルという利益を報告した。
読んでみて タイトル: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/40023781/sprouts-farmers-market-stock-is-up-on-q2-results-strong-q3-guidance">スプラウツ・ファーマーズ・マーケット株がQ2決算の好調な見通しと共に騰勢</a>
Caesars EntertainmentのCEOであるTom Reeg氏は「総合的な観点から、当社は10億ドルのEBITDAを達成しました。Las Vegasセグメントにおける調整後EBITDAは、前年同四半期に比べて史上最高の同店売上、ホテルの稼働率、ADR（平均1日当たりの売上）の3つの指標が全て成長を反映しています」とコメントした。
Reeg氏はまた「強い収益成長と堅調な流通を背景に、当社のCaesars Digitalセグメントは新たな第2四半期のEBITDAの記録を更新しました。 新しい市場での競争を部分的に相殺する第二四半期の新たな貢献が当社のVirginia州Danvilleの仮設施設と、Nebraska州Columbusの当社の不動産です」とも述べた。
見通し Caesars Entertainmentは、ラスベガスとデジタルセグメントでの事業動向を通じて、2024年の残りの期間について引き続き楽観的な見通しを維持すると述べた。同社は、Danvilleプロジェクトを除く年間の総資本支出を引き続き8億ドルと予測している。
