Caesars Entertainment Corp. (NASDAQ:CZR) is a diversified gaming and hospitality operator with a footprint across 18 U.S. states. The firm owns, leases, brands or manages casino properties that feature slot machines, video lottery terminals, e-tables, poker, and a full suite of table games. Beyond the gaming floor, Caesars runs hotels, dining venues, nightclubs, lounges, and entertainment spaces, while also offering staffing and management services.
As of the latest Q3 2024 results, Caesars reported total revenue of $2.48 billion, a 7.2% year-over-year increase driven by a 9% rise in gaming revenue and a 5% lift in hotel RevPAR. Adjusted EBITDA reached $820 million, yielding an EBITDA margin of 33%, and the company’s net debt-to-EBITDA ratio improved to 3.1×, down from 3.6× a year earlier. A key sector catalyst is the continued expansion of online sports betting, with Caesars now active in 32 retail and online jurisdictions and five iGaming markets, positioning it to capture a growing share of the $10 billion U.S. sports-betting market.
