DraftKings (DKNG) Moves 7.0% Higher: Will This Strength Last?

Zacks Equity Research
·2-min read

DraftKings (DKNG) shares rallied 7% in the last trading session to close at $37.54. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 2.3% gain over the past four weeks.

DKNG's momentum persists following the introduction of its sportsbook in Vermont. This strategic move expands DraftKings Sportsbook's footprint to Vermont, the 26th U.S. state, complementing its existing operations in Ontario, Canada. With a strong presence in five of the six New England states, DraftKings aims to provide Vermonters with a secure and legal platform for sports betting.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.11 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +120.8%. Revenues are expected to be $1.25 billion, up 45.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
