Penn National Gaming's Path Forward
Earlier this year, Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ: PENN) completed the first of two planned equity purchases of Barstool Sports. The deal gave Penn 36% of Barstool with warrants to acquire up to 50% of the company at a $450 million valuation.
For a company with a market cap of roughly $4 billion, this was a significant move by Penn and one that investors initially used as a reason to propel the stock price to a new high of almost $40 per share. Shares have since cooled back off to roughly $32 per share amid casino shutdowns and the halting of professional sports. For investors with a long-term mindset and stomach for volatility, Penn National Gaming is a great play.
