Accel Entertainment (ACEL) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Accel Entertainment's recent financial performance reveals a robust growth trajectory, with both revenues and EBITDA increasing by 7% year-over-year, supported by significant growth in various states including a remarkable 24% increase in Nebraska. The company demonstrated its operational efficiency by managing to outpace regional casino Gross Gaming Revenue trends, highlighted by the successful introduction of 250 electronic gaming machines and 4 electronic table games at its temporary casino ahead of a critical event, Derby Day. Furthermore, Accel Entertainment has consistently shown strong shareholder returns, as evidenced by a $10 million share repurchase program, and has maintained a record of beating consensus expectations for ten consecutive quarters.
Bears say
Accel Entertainment Inc. is currently trading at approximately 5.7 times its estimated EBITDA of $214 million for 2026, which is below the valuations of most casinos as well as its historical trading range. Despite an attractive free cash flow yield of 10-12%, the company's valuation relative to its EBITDA suggests potential underlying weaknesses in market confidence or growth prospects. These factors contribute to a negative outlook on the stock, reflecting concerns about the company's ability to sustain or improve its financial performance in the competitive gaming industry.
