Churchill Downs: Excellent Capital Allocation, With Shares Repurchased At The Right Time
Churchill Downs is undervalued, trading below historical and peer multiples, despite strong operational performance and robust capital allocation. Recent results show record revenues and industry-leading margins, with growth driven by M&A and HRM expansion, distinguishing it from typical casino peers. Aggressive share buybacks at low prices are expected to significantly boost future EPS, enhancing shareholder value even with moderate revenue growth.
