Caesars Entertainment (CZR) Valuation Check After New Rampart Casino Sportsbook Partnership in Las Vegas

Simply Wall St

Caesars Entertainment (CZR) is back in the Las Vegas spotlight after announcing a planned Caesars Sportsbook at Rampart Casino in Summerlin, pending approval. This move represents a strategic push deeper into local sports betting demand.

See our latest analysis for Caesars Entertainment.

Despite strategic moves like the Rampart sportsbook and the new Caesars Rewards Shop feature, Caesars Entertainment’s recent trading tells a mixed story, with a strong 1 month share price return of 20.83 percent but a much weaker 1 year total shareholder return of negative 33.85 percent, indicating that short term momentum is building from a still bruised long term base.

If this kind of turnaround story has your attention, it could be a good moment to see what else is setting up for a potential rerate among fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With shares still trading at a steep discount to analyst targets despite improving digital momentum and loyalty monetization, investors now face a key question: Is Caesars undervalued ahead of a rebound, or is the market already discounting its future growth?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 28.4% Undervalued

With Caesars Entertainment last closing at $23.90 against a narrative fair value of $33.37, followers of the story see meaningful upside built into future cash flows.

Analysts expect earnings to reach $540.9 million (and earnings per share of $2.61) by about September 2028, up from $-195.0 million today. However, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the analysts with the most bullish expecting $606 million in earnings, and the most bearish expecting $66.6 million.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious how modest top line growth, rising margins, and a richer future earnings multiple can still justify a big value gap to today’s price? The narrative lays out the exact cash flow runway and profit inflection that back this upside view, plus how long shareholders might wait for those numbers to arrive.

Result: Fair Value of $33.37 (UNDERVALUED)

However, elevated debt and persistent leisure softness in Las Vegas could still derail the expected digital-led margin expansion and delay any meaningful rerating.
