Caesars Entertainment

Caesars Entertainment includes about 50 domestic gaming properties across the Las Vegas (49% of 2024 EBITDAR before corporate expenses) and regional (46%) markets. Additionally, the company hosts managed properties and digital assets that produced marginal EBITDA in 2024. 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.

The Ontario Lottery And Gaming Corporation Selects Caesars Entertainment As The Service Provider In The Windsor Casino Procurement Process; This Is The Final Procurement Process In The OLG's Land-Based Gaming Modernization Initiative.

BofA Securities analyst Shaun C. Kelley on Thursday put forth an analysis of the Gaming companies, Caesars Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) and MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) whose first-quarter results were announced this week.
The analyst reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of CZR and MGM and with a price forecast of $32.00 and $35.00 respectively. 
Caesars (CZR) delivered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/04/45086887/caesars-entertainment-reports-q1-earnings-company-targets-accelerated-free-cash-flow-in-2025">strong first-quarter results</a>, with revenue and EBITDA meeting expectations. Las Vegas and regional performance were solid, aided by cost controls and resilient demand. 
Caesars Digital outperformed, posting $43 million in EBITDA, with iGaming growing faster than the market and OSB showing improved trends.

The company is prioritizing profitability over volume, keeping promotional spending well below industry averages.
MGM reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45117287/mgm-resorts-international-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-and-operating-results">strong first-quarter</a> with revenue and EBITDA slightly above expectations, led by solid Las Vegas performance and cost control. 
April saw record room revenue, and demand appears stable heading into second-quarter. MGM China also outperformed on margins. 
BetMGM showed strong growth with reduced promotions. Despite peers slowing development, MGM remains committed to projects in Japan and New York, increasing its Osaka investment forecast, opined the analyst.
Despite a slightly shorter booking window, MGM saw record April hotel revenue, while CZR reported strong forward bookings. 
Consumer demand appears resilient, noted the analyst. MGM shares rose post-earnings, CZR dipped slightly. 
Price Action: MGM shares traded lower by 2.38% at $30.71 at last check Thursday.

Analyst Ratings

Caesars, MGM Beat Expectations In Q1 As Digital, Vegas Units Shine, Says Analyst

Wall Street traded lower on the final session of the month, heading for its third consecutive monthly loss as economic data began reflecting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">impact of Trump tariffs.</a>
U.S. GDP shrank by 0.3% in the last quarter, marking the first economic contraction since 2022 and missing forecasts for a 0.4% expansion. The decline was driven by a surge in imports and reduced government spending.
Labor market data also disappointed. The ADP National Employment Report showed private employers added just 62,000 jobs in April—the weakest gain in nine months and well below the expected 108,000.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was down 1% to 5,500, on pace to end a six-day winning streak. Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 lagged ahead of earnings from industry titans Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc.
Nine of the S&amp;P 500's eleven sectors were in the red, with only consumer staples and health care posting modest gains. Energy and consumer discretionary led the losses, falling 3.3% and 2.7%, respectively.
Commodities were broadly lower. Oil tumbled 3.7% to $58 a barrel, approaching its lowest close since March 2021. Copper—often seen as a gauge of global growth—plunged 5.2% to $4.60 per pound. Natural gas declined 2.5% to $3.17 per million British thermal units.
Bond markets were steady, with the 10-year Treasury yield hovering at 4.17%. Gold dipped 0.3% to $3,330 per ounce, while the U.S. dollar index (DXY) strengthened by the same margin.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed resilience, holding steady at around $93,000 despite broader market weakness.

Caesars Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) reported first-quarter earnings Tuesday after the bell. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b45082376/caesars-entertainment-inc-reports-first-quarter-2025-results">of the report</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $2.79 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $2.79 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q1 EPS: Loss of 54 cents, versus estimates for a loss of 16 cents</li>
</ul>
Broken down by segment, Caesars reported approximately $1 billion in revenue from Las Vegas, $1.39 billion in Regional revenue, $335 million in Caesars Digital revenue, $67 million in Managed and Branded revenue and $1 million in Corporate and Other revenue.
The company ended the quarter with $884 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $12.3 billion in outstanding debt.
&#8220;During the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;of 2025, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA grew&nbsp;4%&nbsp;over prior year driven by significant gains in our Digital segment which delivered a new&nbsp;Q1&nbsp;record, growth in our regional segment with strong contributions from recently opened properties and a solid quarter in Las Vegas against a tough Super Bowl compare last year,&#8221; said Tom Reeg, CEO of Caesars Entertainment.
Caesars said it repurchased approximately $100 million worth of its common stock during April at an average price of $23.84 per share. 
The company expects to accelerate free cash flow in 2025, allowing it to continue to reduce debt and make opportunistic share repurchases. 
&#8220;We continue to expect 2025 to benefit from meaningfully lower year-over-year capital expenditures and cash interest expense. When combined with strong operating fundamentals, free cash flow this year will show a significant improvement,&#8221; said Bret Yunker, CFO of Caesars. 
CZR Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/czr">Caesars shares</a> were up 2.54% after-hours, trading at $28.70 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Wall Street rose modestly by midday Tuesday, as investors weighed the latest developments in trade negotiations and awaited a wave of key economic data and corporate earnings set for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45072497/us-trade-deficit-explodes-to-record-162-billion-in-march-as-import-frenzy-precedes-trumps-tariff-barrage">release later this week.</a>
President Donald Trump is <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-automakers-factories-relief-25a400c98e02c01c8c54502384e267e1">expected</a> to unveil a new executive order on auto tariffs later today. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent added that the administration is pursuing bilateral trade agreements with 17 major partners, excluding China.
The S&amp;P 500 climbed 0.4%, putting it on track for a sixth consecutive gain—its longest winning streak since November 2024.
In the bond market, U.S. Treasuries extended their rally, with yields falling for a sixth straight session. The yield on the 10-year benchmark dropped to 4.17%, marking a two-week low.
Gold prices slipped 0.6% to $3,325 per ounce, while WTI crude oil futures fell 2.4% to $60 per barrel, the lowest level in two weeks. Oil prices are under pressure from escalating global trade tensions and weaker U.S. economic data, and crude is now on track for a 15% decline in April—its steepest monthly drop since 2021.
Bitcoin traded little changed, around $95,000.

Earnings Scheduled For April 29, 2025

Traders willing to roll the dice on a high-stakes gamble may have a compelling opportunity on their hands with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming">casino and resorts giant</a> Caesars Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>). 
With its first quarter of 2025 earnings report scheduled for release on Tuesday after the closing bell, momentum is heating up for the stock. Nevertheless, market makers don't appear to anticipate that much of a pop, opening the door for extreme contrarianism.
Presently, the implied <a href="https://unusualwhales.com/stock/CZR/volatility">volatility</a> (IV) of Caesars options for the options chain expiring May 2 comes in at 60.7%, conspicuously lower than realized volatility (RZ) of 83.1%. In practical terms, IV reflects option premiums that imply what the future move might be, a forward-looking indicator. RV, on the other hand, demonstrates what happened in the past.
It's not unusual for IV to spike above RV for many optionable securities due to two main catalysts: the rise of uncertainty and option sellers demanding higher premiums to cover the risk of unexpected outcomes. With IV being lower than RV in the case of Caesars near-expiry options, the market seems to anticipate a less wild movement than has been observed in the past.
Frankly, it's not an unreasonable thesis. True, billion-dollar betting events such as the NCAA March Madness tournament likely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/25/03/44424486/casino-stocks-set-for-a-winning-streak-why-march-madness-spring-break-could-fuel-big-gains">padded the pockets of gaming-focused enterprises</a>. Still, the issue is that such stats will represent old news come the quarterly disclosure. Plus, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44800514/these-gaming-stocks-are-under-pressure-as-analyst-cuts-forecast-on-macau-risk-and-soft-vegas-data">geopolitical tensions impacting the gaming sector in Macau</a>, many investors fear some blowback affecting Las Vegas.
This is where the contrarians have an opportunity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Momentum Builds For Caesars Stock Ahead of Key Earnings Report</h2>
One of the common mistakes in investing market analysis is the projection of price from price. For example, in technical analysis, practitioners attempt to apply fixed structures (such as a head-and-shoulders pattern) to continuous fluid signals with no defined edges. Similarly, in fundamental analysis, practitioners attempt to apply fixed relationships (such as price-to-earnings ratios) to a range of boundless possibilities.
In either case, the perpetual continuity signal represents the logical dilemma of assigning meaning to valuation. To get around this problem, investors can compress all the chaos of price discovery into defined, discrete events. In this manner, an investor can quantify and categorize stages of fear and greed — and the theory is that these stages ebb and flow.
By studying the behavioral state transitions, one can better understand where potential pivots from bearish to bullish might occur.
Interestingly, at the beginning of this week, Caesars stock had just completed a "2-8" sequence: two weeks of upside interspersed with eight weeks of downside (with an overall negative trajectory across the 10 weeks). 
Over the trailing decade, this sequence has appeared nine times, with an upside reversal happening six times (or roughly 67%).
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/25153334/CZR-stock-10wk-forecast-04252025-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-889550" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/25153334/CZR-stock-10wk-forecast-04252025-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/25153334/CZR-stock-10wk-forecast-04252025-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/25153334/CZR-stock-10wk-forecast-04252025-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/25153334/CZR-stock-10wk-forecast-04252025.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
While a sample size of nine may be laughably small in any other circumstance, the market is a different beast: the data often motivates the observer to react. That's why technical analysis, though it may lack empirical, repeatable rigor (again, due to the continuity problem), is not completely useless. It just has to be used in a complementary rather than exclusive manner.
More importantly, the strong price action and momentum shift that occurred earlier this week — with Caesars stock up over 12% in the trailing five sessions — appears to have fundamental justification. According to BofA Securities analyst Shaun C. Kelley, management doesn't appear to be seeing softness in Las Vegas visitation and bookings statistics.
As such, it's not irrational to assume that Caesars&#8217; stock will benefit from a strong showing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Daring Wager Up Ahead</h2>
Based on the interplay between IV and RV, market makers are essentially pricing for Caesars stock to pop nearly 7%, which at time of writing would equate to a range between $26.32 and $30.24. For a high-conviction wager, one could opt for the 29/30 bull call spread expiring this Friday.
The above transaction involves buying the $29 call and simultaneously selling the $30 call. It uses the proceeds from the short call to partially offset the debit paid for the long call. Overall, the net cash outlay at time of writing is $46. Should Caesars stock rise through the short strike price of $30 at expiration, the maximum reward is $54, or a payout of over 117%.
To truly swing for the fences, one can go up a step on both legs of the bull spread with the 30/31. This trade only requires a net debit of $30 right now. But if Caesars shoots up and stays elevated through expiration, the maximum reward stands at $70, a massive payout of over 233%.

<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
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.

Beyond The Numbers: 10 Analysts Discuss Caesars Entertainment Stock

Morgan Stanley analyst Stephen Grambling maintains Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) with a Equal-Weight and lowers the price target from $30 to $29.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Equal-Weight on Caesars Entertainment, Lowers Price Target to $29

BofA Securities analyst Shaun C. Kelley shared his first-quarter preview of the gaming sector Monday.
Kelley already adjusted first-quarter estimates for full-year estimates to reflect a more uncertain Macau environment, incorporate regional gaming trends, discuss recent digital trends, tweak Macau share estimates, and lower his price targets to reflect the market re-rating.
It&#8217;s been volatile, but gaming stocks are down 12% year-to-date compared to the S&amp;P&#8217;s 9% decline.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44787792/sony-raises-ps5-prices-in-some-countries-by-up-to-25-in-anticipation-of-tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sony Raises PS5 Prices In Some Countries By Up To 25% In Anticipation Of Tariffs</a>
Kelley is 5% below the Street in Macau, and given U.S./China tensions, expect a more cautious tone from operators.
The analyst did not think management teams were seeing softness in Las Vegas yet. Still, investors will be hyper-focused on any changes in visitation, bookings, cancellations, or behavior as they exited in March and April following the trade/geopolitical issues.
For regionals, Kelley is slightly below the Street for the first quarter, but visitation has been relatively steady and actually improved in March due to better weather. His 2025 gaming EBITDA estimates are now 2% below the Street.
Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter EBITDA estimates for Macau are 5% below the Street, driven by lower market share expectations for US-based operators and margin pressure from a mix shift to premium and concession operating expenditures. The analyst is 10% below the Street for Las Vegas Sands Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>) at $560 million.
For the remainder of 2025, Kelley modeled market-wide Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) up 0.5% (versus +3% prior) and lowered his market share expectations for Las Vegas Sands, given mass-market challenges.
Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter Marina Bay Sands estimate for Singapore is $522 million, slightly below consensus.
For Strip, Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter estimates are in line with the Street. He is slightly ahead of Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>), in line with Caesars Entertainment, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>), and below the Street for MGM Resorts International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>).
Kelley lowered his fiscal 2025 Vegas EBITDA estimates by 2.5% and modeled -1% RevPAR and flat GGR. The analyst&#8217;s 2025 estimates are 3% below the Street on a weighted average basis.
While he is now modeling a more cautious consumer outlook, his Vegas room rate survey has been resilient, with rates tracking up +4% for the second quarter.
However, the data on placer visitation to Strip casinos has softened in March and April.
Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter estimates for Locals are 2% below the Street for Boyd Gaming Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYD#NYSE">BYD</a>) versus the Street driven by local competition and regional weather in the South.
For Regionals: Kelley&#8217;s first-quarter regional estimates are 1% below the Street.
Based on limited state data, Kelley estimated that same-store GGR was +5% in January, -5% in February, and -1% in March. The analyst&#8217;s Placer visitation data followed a similar trend, suggesting trends are improving month-to-date in April, though Easter timing is creating noise.
Based on March Madness outcomes, the analyst noted DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) is likely tracking below current Street estimates of $155M.
Kelley will refine his estimates pending more March data but bridged to ~$110-120 million of first-quarter EBITDA.
