The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.12 billion, indicating an increase of 28.03% from the year-ago quarter’s levels.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at a loss of 3 cents per share, which has widened by 3 cents in the past 30 days.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters while missing the same twice, delivering an average negative surprise of 58.26%.
Let’s see how things have shaped prior to this announcement.
DraftKings’ second-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from the increasing global appetite for online gambling and sports betting.
The leading digital sports entertainment and gaming company's strategic efforts to expand its Sportsbook product into new jurisdictions and enhanced promotional investments for Sportsbook and iGaming are likely to have paid off, driving substantial customer acquisition, engagement and retention in second-quarter 2024.
DraftKings’ Monthly Unique Payers (MUPs) increased to 3.4 million in first-quarter 2024, representing a rise of 23% year over year and reflecting strong traction across its Sportsbook and iGaming products.
DraftKings kicked off 2024 by launching its top-rated online sportsbook in Vermont on Jan 11, marking its presence in 26 U.S. states and Ontario, Canada. The company further bolstered its reach by announcing the competition of its proposed acquisition of Jackpocket Inc., the leading digital lottery app in the United States. This acquisition is expected to have given DraftKings significant cross-sell opportunities.
In first-quarter 2024, the company reported an Average Revenue per MUP of $114, up 25% year over year, primarily driven by an improved structural sportsbook hold rate. This positive trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
DraftKings is also live with iGaming in five states, representing approximately 11% of the U.S. population. The demand for iGaming, such as Roulette and Blackjack, is expected to have aided growth in active user activity in the to-be-reported quarter.
Alongside its growth initiatives, DKNG remains committed to responsible gaming, unveiling My Stat Sheet, a tool that empowers players to track their personal gaming statistics and make informed decisions.
With its aggressive expansion, product diversification and focus on responsible gaming, DraftKings is poised to capitalize on the surging demand for online gambling and sports betting, solidifying its position as a market leader in the rapidly evolving industry.
