PENN Entertainment: Unlocking Value In Bricks, Not Bets

  • PENN's online sports betting efforts, especially ESPN Bets, have underperformed due to poor user experience and unsustainable promo-driven growth. Increased competition is pressuring both PENN's interactive and brick-and-mortar segments, leading to negative growth, accompanied by potential macroeconomic headwinds. My valuation suggests a fair value of $14.03; however, there is over 40% upside to be realized contingent on PENN divesting from its interactive segment.
