Accel Entertainment: Chicago Gaming Could Unlock Significant Earnings Upside (Rating Upgrade)

Summary Accel Entertainment is upgraded to BUY as Chicago gaming terminals may commence operations in August, offering significant incremental earnings potential. 2Q26 results exceeded expectations, with revenue up 10% yoy to $368m and adjusted EBITDA rising 11% yoy to $59m, driven by operational efficiencies and state expansion. ACEL benefits from above-sector median EBITDA growth, a strong balance sheet, ongoing share buybacks, and low forward EV/EBITDA valuation multiples. The Chicago market could represent a $1bn opportunity, with ACEL positioned for a 31% share and minimal incremental operating costs due to existing Illinois infrastructure.

DraftKings: Despite Prediction Markets, This Company Is Facing Revenue Declines

Summary DraftKings faces existential pressure as prediction markets outpace traditional sportsbook offerings. DKNG remains a "Sell" despite a brief Q2 rebound; shares are down ~30% YTD and trade at a premium. Revenue and EBITDA are declining, with 1H EBITDA at $282 million, well below the FY26 guidance midpoint of $750 million. Competition from Polymarket, Kalshi, and Robinhood’s super app threatens DKNG’s relevance and future growth. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Super Group Q2: An Expected Beat-And-Raise Report

Summary Super Group Limited reported a beat-and-raise Q2 report. The company benefits from the FIFA World Cup in Q2-Q3, but SGHC's underlying sportsbook momentum was even underwhelming in Q2. The overall SGHC growth story remains on track. I estimate SGHC stock to have 10% upside to $14.3, implying a fair overall risk-to-reward. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

FLUT: Prediction Markets And World Cup Advertising Reset Will Support 2026 Rebound

Flutter Entertainment's updated analyst price target has been trimmed in line with a reset fair value estimate to $144.10 from $157.48, as analysts factor in rebased earnings expectations, higher investment in customer acquisition, and more conservative U.S. growth assumptions following recent Q2 updates and guidance changes. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research on Flutter Entertainment paints a mixed picture, with many analysts trimming price targets after Q2 while still highlighting key strengths and risks that matter for valuation, execution, and longer term growth.
