After observing the highs of $130 last year, the shares of Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ: PENN) are again climbing the ladder despite geopolitical tensions and broader market contraction. In 2021, the company’s revenues surpassed pre-pandemic levels assisted by its slot gaming business in the Northeast and South regions. Penn’s Interactive Gaming segment, which represents the sports betting business, reported a 12% share of the U.S. sports betting market (excluding Nevada) with an 11% hold rate. As highlighted in our earlier article, Penn Stock Poised For Long Term Gains?, Penn National Gaming can more than double its revenues with a 15% market share in the long-term. Thus, Penn stock is poised for capital gains even amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment. Per the Trefis machine learning engine which analyzes historical stock price movements, PENN stock has a 58% chance of a rise over the next month (21 trading days).
