DKNG has also found a trading floor in the $20s, with the ambitious Investor Day targets implying their cheaply valued, multi-year, profitable growth prospects. It goes without saying that the stock may remain volatile in the near-term, depending on the sports outcome worsened by the still-elevated short interest ratio. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

DraftKings: Incredible Customer Acquisition, Terrible Price (Rating Upgrade)
Summary DraftKings achieved a significant "beat and raise" in Q4, boosting its share price by ~15%, driven by new customer acquisition and better sportsbook hold percentages. Upgrading DraftKings to neutral.

DraftKings' FY25 outlook relies on 30%+ revenue growth and a significant increase in adjusted EBITDA margins, as well as a normalization of all unfavorable sports outcomes in FY24.
