DraftKings Stock Shows Long-Term Potential Despite Earnings Miss
DraftKings' second-quarter earnings fell short of estimates by a penny, triggering a market reaction that overlooked the company's underlying strengths. Revenue hit a record $1.51 billion, with adjusted EBITDA reaching $301 million and net income climbing to $158 million. These figures represent significant year-over-year growth from $1.1 billion in sales and $0.22 per share.
Customer metrics also improved, with higher user counts and increased average revenue per user. The company maintained its full-year guidance, signaling confidence in continued growth. Market pessimism appears misplaced given these fundamentals.
