Shares of hotel and casino entertainment company Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) fell 2.9% in the morning session after an analyst at Jefferies downgraded the company’s stock from “Buy” to “Hold.”<\/p>\n
The analyst also significantly lowered the price target on the shares to $22 from $39. The downgrade followed Caesars’ recent third-quarter results that fell short of expectations, particularly in Las Vegas, where performance was down 20% compared to the previous year. The research note expressed low confidence in Caesars’ ability to grow in its Las Vegas and regional markets. It also cited concerns about the company’s growth path and noted that factors outside of the company’s control could require more capital, which would limit potential gains for the stock.<\/p>\n
