Why DraftKings Stock Plunged 8.2% Today

Shares of online gambling stock DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG) fell as much as 8.2% in trading on Tuesday after reportedly making an offer to acquire global competitor Entain (LSE: ENT). Entain's shares jumped over 20% on the report, but investors didn't like the move from DraftKings quite as much. 

CNBC reported this morning that DraftKings is offering about $20 billion for Entain, which has a 50/50 partnership with MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM) in the U.S. called BetMGM. Entain and MGM had some discussions about an acquisition earlier this year, but those were reportedly rebuffed by Entain.
