Most Popular Narrative: 81.5% Undervalued

According to the most followed narrative, PENN Entertainment’s fair value of $79.65 sits far above the recent $14.77 share price. This sets up a very different story from what the market is currently pricing in.

PENN’s stock has been a disaster for years. EV is way down. With fundamentals of its casinos solid, write offs of mistakes behind them, and valuation at a nadir, the opportunity for a major upside breakout is apparent. The Company is sizable, $7 billion in revenues and $1.7 billion in EBITDAR, its not going away. In fact, a hostile bid or management takedown is not impossible. Assets are top notch, even if management is not. Expect a major upswing in earnings in 2026 with an accompanying share price rise. I place fair value at about $30 per share……..That would be 7 times 2027 EBITDA to Enterprise Value

Read the complete narrative.

The narrative is built on a particular mix of revenue growth, future margins and a profit multiple that assumes a very different earnings profile to today. It raises the question of which assumptions drive such a steep gap between current price and fair value, and how they link back to PENN’s current $7,961.0 million revenue base and loss of $843.1 million.

Result: Fair Value of $79.65 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this upbeat view still faces real risks, including PENN’s current loss of $843.1 million and the possibility that its Interactive segment economics may disappoint expectations.
