Shares of companies in the braoder consumer discretionary sector are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

BofA Securities analyzes the extent of tariffs and the macroeconomic situation&#8217;s effect on the earnings of gaming and lodging companies.
Since BofA&#8217;s previous report on April 1, stocks in the lodging and gaming sector have dropped 11% % -25 %, underperforming the S&amp;P 500's 16% decline.
Rising tariffs have significantly increased recession risks, with the sector now pricing in an 85% % -100 % chance of a downturn.
Investor concerns have escalated from market correction to a potential full-scale recession. A tariff-driven slowdown could cut sector revenues by 2%–4% and EBITDA by 3%–8%.
Recessions differ in nature, but the past three saw average peak-to-trough GDP drops of 5.1% and 10% in RevPAR.
According to the analyst, sub-sector sensitivity varies, with regional gaming and skiing less affected, while hotels and timeshares are more exposed.

Earnings risk is highest for gaming operators and lodging REITs due to their high operating leverage. COVID and GFC downturns lasted about 67 days; current declines are 55 days in, said the analyst.
A 1% GDP decline could reduce hotel RevPAR by 2%–4%, broader sector revenue by 2%–4%, and EBITDA by 3%–8%.
Tariffs are projected to impact GDP by 1%–1.5%, amplifying pressure on hospitality earnings.
Early data from Apple Hospitality REIT Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APLE#NYSE">APLE</a>) signals underperformance, with potential RevPAR guidance cuts of 2% to 3% and flat growth for the U.S. in 2025.
Domestic gaming stocks are currently trading at notably low valuations, with 2025 EBITDA multiples at 6.5x and free cash flow yields at 15%, while operating companies are at 6.3x and 20%, respectively, said the analyst.
These figures sit one standard deviation below long-term averages, hitting levels last seen in 2022 and even lower than in 2016 and 2018. 
Lodging C-Corps are also below historical norms, except for Hilton Hotels Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>), which still trades at a premium.
Lodging REITs have dropped to valuation lows only previously observed during the COVID-19 and Global Financial crises.
Meanwhile, timeshare valuations are also depressed, and Vail Resorts Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) is now trading at its lowest multiple since 2011.

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.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
