Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
Investing.com - JMP Securities raised its price target on PENN Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:PENN) to $25.00 from $24.00 on Friday, while maintaining a Market Outperform rating on the stock. Currently trading at $16.92 with a market cap of $2.46 billion, PENN shows potential upside according to InvestingPro analysis, which indicates the stock is currently undervalued.
The price target increase follows PENN’s second-quarter 2025 results, which showed revenue beating consensus expectations while EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and rent) of $392 million was in line with analyst forecasts. The company’s trailing twelve-month revenue stands at $6.64 billion, showing a 5.5% growth rate.
PENN’s brick-and-mortar business posted revenue 1% above consensus estimates, though margin misses resulted in overall EBITDAR aligning with Street expectations. The company maintained its 2025 guidance for its physical casino operations despite the Joliet, Illinois location opening six months ahead of schedule.
JMP noted that positive commentary from PENN and its regional competitors indicated improvement in the underlying gaming consumer throughout the quarter, suggesting potential upside to estimates if these trends continue.
The company’s online EBITDAR fell within the guidance range for the second quarter, though JMP pointed out it was partially affected by one-time costs that are expected to lead to cost savings in the second half of 2025.
In other recent news, Penn Entertainment Inc. reported impressive second-quarter results for 2025, significantly exceeding market expectations. The company announced an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.10, which was a considerable surprise compared to the anticipated loss of $0.02.

Although stock price movements were noted, they are not the focus of this report. These developments reflect Penn Entertainment’s ongoing financial trajectory. No recent analyst upgrades or downgrades have been reported in connection with these earnings. Investors might find these results encouraging as they consider their positions.
