Beyond The Numbers: 14 Analysts Discuss Boyd Gaming Stock

Wall Street is poised to conclude the week on a cautious note, with equities easing on Friday after President Donald Trump signaled a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">more aggressive trade stance. </a>
A formal letter outlining tariff intentions is expected to be delivered to EU leaders in the coming hours, following Trump&#8217;s announcement earlier this week of a 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting Aug. 1 and blanket duties of 15% to 20% on most other trading partners.
The S&amp;P 500 dipped 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite was flat, after both notched fresh record highs on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 300 points, dragged down by renewed fears of a global trade escalation and weak sentiment in industrials and financials. Small caps, which had outperformed in recent sessions, dropped over 1%. 
Treasury markets reflected the increased anxiety. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note climbed nearly 4 basis points to 4.39%, as investors braced for potential inflationary effects from tariffs.
Commodities took center stage, with gold jumping over 1% to $3,355 per ounce, supported by safe-haven flows amid deepening trade frictions. Silver extended its bullish run, surging past $38 per ounce, its highest level in nearly 14 years.
Crude oil prices also regained momentum, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures rising above $68 per barrel, recovering from a 2.5% loss in the prior session.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) pulled back modestly after hitting a new all-time high of $118,839 overnight. The largest cryptocurrency was last trading near $117,500 as broader risk sentiment weakened.

Susquehanna Downgrades Boyd Gaming to Neutral, Raises Price Target to $86

Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYD#NYSE">BYD</a>) has agreed to divest its 5% stake in FanDuel Group to Flutter Entertainment plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLUT#NYSE">FLUT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46356162/boyd-gaming-to-sell-fanduel-interest-for-1-755-billion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">for $1.755 billion in cash</a>.
The deal is expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/g46356232/flutter-secures-100-ownership-of-fanduel-through-new-agreement-with-boyd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pending regulatory green lights</a>. 
Boyd said it will channel the funds into lowering its debt burden and fortifying its balance sheet.

Nintendo Handheld Gaming Console Includes Nvidia Vs. AMD Battle: Which One Will Come Out On Top?</a>
As of March 31, 2025, Boyd Gaming had cash on hand of $311.5 million, and <a href="https://investors.boydgaming.com/2025-04-24-BOYD-GAMING-REPORTS-FIRST-QUARTER-2025-RESULTS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">total debt</a> of $3.5 billion. 
The Las Vegas-based casino operator also announced a refresh of its partnership with FanDuel, which includes new terms to extend market access agreements through 2038 in several states.
These new arrangements will result in fixed annual fees for Boyd in places where FanDuel operates under its market licenses.
Under terms of the revised market-access agreements with FanDuel, the company expects its online division to rake in $50 million to $55 million in operating income and Adjusted EBITDAR in 2025, tapering to about $30 million in 2026.
Keith Smith, President and CEO of Boyd, called the move a realization of the "unlocked value" generated by the FanDuel partnership. &#8220;This strengthens our financial position to continue reinvesting in our core business and reward shareholders,&#8221; Smith noted.
Flutter Entertainment, which already held a 95% stake in FanDuel, will now take full ownership. This transaction values FanDuel at approximately $31 billion.
Flutter anticipates the new deal will reduce annual market-access costs by roughly $65 million beginning July 2025. As of March 31, Flutter Entertainment had cash and cash equivalents <a href="https://www.flutter.com/media/hbxfi0tg/q1-2025-earnings-release-website.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">worth </a>$1.537 billion.
It also deepens the ongoing relationship between Flutter and Boyd while simplifying ownership of one of the U.S.&#8217;s top sports betting platforms.
Flutter CEO Peter Jackson described the 2018 FanDuel acquisition as transformative and emphasized the benefits of consolidating ownership. "FanDuel's leadership in U.S. sports betting has been pivotal, and we're excited to take full control while continuing our long-term alliance with Boyd," Jackson stated.
Flutter has secured a $1.75 billion bridge credit facility to finance the transaction. The agreement, which includes first lien term loans, features flexible maturity and interest terms to accommodate the acquisition and related expenses.
Following the transaction, FanDuel will continue managing Boyd's retail sportsbooks outside Nevada through mid-2026, after which Boyd will take over those operations directly.
Price Action: BYD shares are trading lower by 1.73% to $83.89 premarket at last check Friday, FLUT shares are trading lower by 0.06% to $289.41.

Boyd Gaming Sells FanDuel Stake, Secures Long-Term Market Access Fees

Boyd Gaming & FanDuel To Terminate Certain Existing Market-access Agreements Between Parties, Enter New Agreements; FanDuel To Also Continue To Operate Boyd's Retail Sportsbooks Outside Of Nevada Through Mid-2026

Boyd Gaming To Sell FanDuel Interest For $1.755B; Transaction Is Expected To Close In Q3 Of 2025; Entered Into Deal To Sell Co's 5% Equity Interest In FanDuel To Flutter Entertainment Plc

Boyd Gaming's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYD#NYSE">BYD</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.34% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.93 million shares sold short, which is 4.53% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Boyd Gaming has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Boyd Gaming's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Boyd Gaming's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.60%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
