Read MoreHide Full Article
DraftKings (DKNG - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2023 results on May 4.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $699.62 million, indicating an increase of 67.69% from the year-ago quarter’s levels.
The consensus mark for loss has moved south by 5 cents in the past 30 days and is currently pegged at 85 cents per share.

Let’s see how things have shaped prior to this announcement.
Increasing global demand for online gambling and sports betting is expected to have positively impacted DraftKings’ first-quarter performance.
DraftKings is live with mobile sports betting in 20 states that collectively represent approximately 42% of the U.S. population following the launch of its online Sportsbook in Ohio on Jan 1, 2023. The company operates iGaming in five states, representing approximately 11% of the U.S. population.
The company’s continuous efforts to expand the functionality and content offering of its Sportsbook product are expected to have driven customer acquisition, engagement and retention in the to-be-reported quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Average Revenue per Monthly Unique Payers was $109, up 42% year over year, attributed to an improvement in the company’s structural sportsbook hold rate, a continued mix shift into DraftKings’ Sportsbook and iGaming products and reduced promotional intensity compared with the same period in 2022. The trend is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
The demand for iGaming, such as Roulette and Blackjack, benefited from a spike in user activity. The trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
DraftKings launched its online sportsbook in Massachusetts in the to-be-reported quarter. DraftKings will also offer exclusive promotions, variety of bet types and more to customers in Massachusetts. This is expected to have expanded the reach of DraftKings in the to-be-reported quarter.
