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.
