Read an article today (can't seem to find it now) that it may take a year but it is about 100% undervalued. Bought 200 shares this morning to hold after reading that article. That would put it around $34 in 2025. Said they have 1 Billion in cash, opening 4 new casinos, now can bet in NY and one other state they were not in before. If I can find the article again, I will post the link. Yes, looks bad at the moment, but future could be bright after paying for ESPN BET. Spent $400 million for it, got rid of Barstool, and should eventually begin to pay off.

In connection with PENN’s decision to rebrand our online sports betting business from Barstool Sportsbook to ESPN Bet pursuant to the Sportsbook Agreement as discussed above, PENN entered into a stock purchase agreement with David Portnoy (the “Barstool SPA”) on August 8, 2023. Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN sold 100% of the outstanding shares of Barstool to David Portnoy in exchange for a nominal cash consideration ($1.00 dollar) and certain non-compete and other restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the Barstool SPA, PENN has the right to receive 50% of the gross proceeds received by David Portnoy in any subsequent sale or other monetization event of Barstool.
On August 8, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the sale to David Portnoy and we classified the assets and liabilities to be disposed in connection with the Barstool SPA as held-for-sale which are measured at the lower of (i) the carrying value when we classified the disposal group as held-for-sale and (ii) the fair value of the disposal group, less costs to sell. The classification of the Barstool business as held-for-sale was considered an event or change in circumstance which requires an assessment of the goodwill and intangible assets of the disposal group for impairment each reporting period until disposal. We are currently quantifying the impact of the Barstool SPA to our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, however we expect the carrying value of the net assets held-for-sale to be greater than their fair value, less costs to sell, which is expected to result in a material non-cash loss and the corresponding reversal of the net deferred tax liability of approximately $115.9 million that will have a significant impact to income taxes. See Note 11, “Income Taxes.” The pre-tax non-cash loss on disposal is estimated to be between $800.0 million and $850.0 million (inclusive of $705.0 million to $720.0 million in goodwill and intangible assets write offs) to be incurred in the third quarter of 2023. These material adjustments will be reflected in our September 30, 2023 unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

PENN posts normalized Q2 EPS of $0.48 vs. $0.15, $0.09 above consensus estimates on revenues of $1.67B vs. $1.63B and $11M above estimates. By segment, Northeast revenues were flat Y/Y, South declined 9%, West declined 15%, Midwest declined 1%, and Interactive grew 66%. PENN announced it is partnering with ESPN to rebrand barstool sports online sportsbook to ESPN Bet for $1.5B over 10 years and $500M in warrants up front with additional performance warrants based on market share gains. We believe the deal can bring the newly branded OSB into the top 3 in market share across the U.S. and Canada over the next five years. PENN will leverage ESPN to acquire new customers and we expect significant market share gains. We see value in shares.

Barstool Divestiture
PENN Divests Barstool Sports to Founder David Portnoy: PENN sold 100% of the Barstool Sports, Inc. ("Barstool") common stock to David Portnoy in exchange for certain non-compete and other restrictive covenants. PENN also has the right to receive 50% of the gross proceeds received by David Portnoy in any subsequent sale or other monetization event of Barstool
Jay Snowden, Chief Executive Officer and President of PENN, commented, "This transformative, exclusive agreement with ESPN marks another major milestone in PENN's evolution from a pure-play U.S. regional gaming operator to a North American entertainment leader. ESPN Bet will be deeply integrated with ESPN's broad editorial, content, digital and linear product, and sports programming ecosystem. ESPN Bet will also benefit from PENN's operational experience, extensive market access and proprietary technology platform, which successfully debuted in the U.S. this July."
Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman of ESPN, said, "After meeting with Jay and the PENN team, it was clear that they were the right long-term strategic partner to build ESPN Bet into a leading U.S. sports betting platform. We are confident that the combination of our unparalleled audience along with PENN's operational expertise and state-of-the-art technology provides us with a tremendous opportunity to serve the ever-growing number of consumers interested in betting."
Mr. Snowden continued, "In connection with the transaction, we are selling Barstool back to founder David Portnoy. Barstool has been a great partner and we are thankful to Dave Portnoy, Erika Ayers, Dan Katz and their team for helping to rapidly scale our digital footprint across 16 jurisdictions in the U.S. and introducing their audience to our retail and digital products. The divestiture allows Barstool to return to its roots of providing unique and authentic content to its loyal audience without the restrictions associated with a publicly traded, licensed gaming company."
"Our agreement with ESPN will provide us access to the largest ecosystem in sports, with 105 million+ monthly unique digital visitors, an audience of more than 370 million across social platforms, 25 million ESPN+ subscribers, and the nation's #1 fantasy database. PENN's ability to leverage the leading sports media brands in both the U.S. and Canada with ESPN and theScore, combined with our newly launched sports betting app, will allow us to significantly expand our digital footprint and catapult ESPN Bet into a strong podium position in this space. We believe we can achieve substantial adjusted EBITDA in our Interactive Segment over the coming years - and this will translate to very strong free cash flow generation for the Company and value creation for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Snowden.
