Citizens raises Penn price target to $26 and flags potential Churchill sale

Deals & M&A

Citizens Equity Research analyst Jordan Bender raised his price target for Penn Entertainment to $26 from $24 and reiterated a market outperform rating ahead of its scheduled 6 August earnings report. Bender also cited a potential sale of Churchill Downs’ regional gaming business as a possible catalyst, although the company has not said a sale is in progress. Citizens also named Red Rock Resorts among its preferred regional casino stocks.

The analyst’s revised Penn target and conditional Churchill Downs sale thesis may inform investor assessments of regional casino operators.
