DraftKings: Prediction Markets Are Eating This Company's Lunch (Rating Downgrade)

Summary DraftKings faces further downside after a disappointing Q1 earnings print and ongoing market share losses. Despite launching its 'super app,' DKNG's handle trends weakened as active players declined, signaling competitive pressures. DKNG underperformed the broader market, missing out on the rally and losing ~30% YTD. I reiterate my sell rating, as DKNG is not a value stock and faces intensifying competition from Polymarket and Kalshi. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

MGM Resorts: Finally, Las Vegas Tourism Is Stabilizing

Summary MGM Resorts International was upgraded to Overweight by JPMorgan, which outlined stabilizing trends in Las Vegas. Data from early 2026 indeed shows an improvement in Las Vegas tourism trends. I believe that the improvement should be extrapolated cautiously. MGM's other segments have grown well, but with weakening profitability. I estimate MGM stock to have 14% upside to $47.6.
