PENN Entertainment: Pivot Unlocks Value; Initiate Strong Buy

  • We rate PENN Entertainment Strong Buy with a $43 PT, driven by above-consensus FY25 revenue and undervalued growth in iCasino and Canada. Strategic retrenchment from ESPN BET in FY26 will moderate revenue growth but drive margin expansion and higher-quality earnings. Retail market share gains and new property openings anchor cash generation, supporting both digital investment and shareholder returns.
