For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at approximately $2,584 million, suggesting a surge of 72.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Caesars Entertainment, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Let's take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors to Note
Caesars Entertainment’s fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefitted from pent-up demand, expansion of retail sports betting and enhanced iCasino offerings. Emphasis on digital business through aggressive customer acquisition coupled with improvements with respect to its in-app merging technologies is likely to have driven the fourth-quarter top line. Also, focus on partnerships and property development bodes well.
The strong performance of the regional destination properties coupled with improvement in occupancy levels is likely to have aided the company’s performance in the fourth quarter. During the previous quarter earnings call, the company revealed that occupancy in Las Vegas reached 89%, with weekend occupancy attained 97%. Although group attrition remained at higher levels, it witnessed the return of conventions to Las Vegas. With the virus numbers subsiding, the momentum is likely to have persisted in the fourth quarter as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Las Vegas revenues and regional revenues is pegged at $989 million and $1,377 million, respectively, indicating growth of 121.3% and 45.1% from the prior-year quarter’s levels.
However, increased investments in odds and profit boost, competitive pricing strategies and lower hold in certain markets are likely to have impacted the company’s performance in the fourth quarter. This along with fluctuations in positive COVID-19 cases, new variants and the efficacy and acceptance of available vaccines might have influenced the company’s operations in the to-be-reported quarter.
