According to InvestingPro data, the company has shown revenue growth of nearly 14% in the last twelve months, despite challenging market conditions.

In other recent news, Full House Resorts reported mixed financial results for the first quarter of 2025. The company posted a revenue of $75 million, which exceeded expectations by 1% and showed a 7% increase year-over-year, driven by strong growth in Illinois. However, the company’s EBITDA was slightly below consensus, at $11.5 million, due to adverse weather conditions and underperformance at the Chamonix property. Despite these challenges, management is optimistic about improving margins in the upcoming quarters. Analyst Jordan Bender from Citizens JMP lowered the price target for Full House Resorts to $4.00 from $5.00, while maintaining a Market Outperform rating.
