Although the revenue and EPS for Caesars Entertainment (CZR) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended June 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
Caesars Entertainment (CZR) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.39 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.07. This compares to break-even earnings per share a year ago.
CZR's Q2 results are likely to reflect digital and regional gains, offset by margin pressure and Vegas softness.
Caesars shares have underperformed due to slow debt reduction and new tax headwinds from the OBBB, but these risks are manageable. Digital business is driving growth, with improved profitability and user monetization, while physical casinos remain stable despite muted consumer spending. The company is nearing the end of a heavy investment cycle, which should boost free cash flow, and a potential NYC casino license could be a long-term positive.
Sin stocks offer defensive growth, with steady demand across alcohol, tobacco and gambling sectors, wherein reputation takes a back seat.
Caesars Entertainment (CZR) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?
Caesars Entertainment (CZR) stock is trading below its May 2020 levels, despite being a leader in gaming — suggesting room for a huge rally. At just above $27, CZR trades at under 8x EV/EBITDAR, a discount compared to some U.S. peers. The company aggressively bought back shares at $24. But there's a reason why long-term results have been disappointing: clearly, the market simply doesn't quite trust the business or management.
CZR's first-quarter 2025 results reflect strength in the Digital segment, contributions from new properties and stable performance in Las Vegas despite a tough year-over-year comparison.
