Golden Entertainment: Thesis After The Dip
Golden Entertainment remains a 'Buy' despite near-term Nevada concentration risks, with a trimmed price target of $28 and long-term upside to $32. Q2 results showed resilience: gaming revenue held up, and Locals outperformed, even as tourism and F&B segments lagged due to softer Strip traffic. Shareholder returns are robust—4% dividend yield plus aggressive buybacks could drive high-single to low-double digit total returns annually.

45 Barron's 2025 Mid-Year Pro-Picks: 3 Ideal July DiviDogs
I analyze Barron's Mid-Year 2025 Roundtable Pro Picks using the yield-based 'dogcatcher' method to identify high-yield, safer dividend stocks. AT&T, Tegna, and Pitney Bowes stand out as 'safer' dividend dogs, with prices below annual dividends from $1,000 invested, signaling attractive entry points. The top ten high-yield picks offer projected 24.3% average net gains by July 2026, with lower-than-market volatility, but some face negative free cash flow margins.

Golden Entertainment: Downgrade Misses The Forest For The Trees
Golden Entertainment's deleveraging and strong cash flow support robust buybacks and dividends, offering at least 7% annual shareholder returns even in conservative scenarios. Despite a downgrade from Truist Securities citing Strat weakness and muted M&A prospects, I maintain my $32 price target and 'Buy' rating, seeing the downgrade as an opportunity. Q2 headwinds are real but manageable; room occupancy and slot performance show resilience, and FCF coverage for dividends and buybacks remains solid under all scenarios.

Golden Entertainment: Buybacks + Dividends + Deleveraging = Happy Shareholders
Golden Entertainment's aggressive deleveraging, asset sales, and focus on core Nevada operations have dramatically improved its balance sheet and reduced risk. Despite recent revenue declines from property sales and soft demand, gaming margins and free cash flow have improved, supporting shareholder returns via buybacks and dividends. Valuation remains attractive: EV/EBITDA multiples are below peers, and continued buybacks plus a 3.6% dividend yield offer a compelling total return.
