About: DraftKings got its start in 2012 as an innovator in daily fantasy sports. Then, following a Supreme Court ruling in 2018 that allowed states to legalize online sports wagering, the company expanded into online sports and casino gambling, where it generally holds the number two or three revenue share position across states in which it competes. DraftKings is now live with online or retail sports betting in 28 states and iGaming in five states, with both products available to around 40% of Canada's population. In 2024, sports revenue was 61% of total sales, i-gaming 32%, and fantasy and lottery 7%. The company also operates a non-fungible token commissioned-based marketplace and develops and licenses online gaming products.

DraftKings: Football Season Is Here, But A Phantom Tax Is Now My Concern (Rating Downgrade)
I am downgrading DraftKings from bullish to neutral due to the Big Beautiful Bill's tax changes impacting gambling losses starting in 2026. Section 165(d) now limits gambling loss deductions to 90%, meaning bettors could owe taxes on money they never actually won, hurting recreational betting. Despite strong revenue growth, user acquisition, and promising forward EPS projections, the legislative risk overshadows DKNG's otherwise compelling investment case.

DraftKings: Profits Came Even Earlier Than I Thought
DraftKings achieved GAAP profitability ahead of expectations, marking a major turning point and validating my earlier 'Buy' rating. Q2 2025 saw record revenue, strong operational leverage, and significant margin expansion, with customer growth and higher average revenue per user. Management's guidance remains cautious, but I expect continued double-digit revenue growth and improving margins as DraftKings scales further.
