Boyd Gaming: No Recession Clouds On The Horizon
Summary Boyd Gaming's Q1 FY 2025 results beat expectations with $1.62 EPS and $991.6 million in revenue, showing resilience despite broader consumer discretionary sector struggles.

Boyd's strategic investments, including property renovations and expansions, and robust online segment growth, position it well for continued success and shareholder returns. With a solid balance sheet and manageable debt, BYD remains a top pick for 2025, offering potential share price appreciation and double-digit returns.

DraftKings and Fan Duel lead the market, but only BetMGM has achieved a double-digit market share among other platforms. Penn Entertainment’s failed Barstool Sports partnership and subsequent ESPNBet deal underscore the challenges in the sports betting market.
