-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
CZR reported Q1 2026 net revenues of $2.87B (+2.7% Y/Y), with net loss narrowing to $98M from $115M in the prior year, while adjusted EBITDA remained flat at $887M (+0.3%). The Digital segment delivered record Q1 results with revenues of $374M (+11.6%) and EBITDA of $69M (+60.5%), demonstrating strong operational leverage as the primary growth driver. The $54M acquisition of Caesars Windsor operations added to the Regional portfolio under a 20-year operating agreement. Management expressed confidence in delivering strong free cash flow in 2026 due to continued operating momentum, lower cash interest expense, and reduced capex. Las Vegas showed stabilization, with flat revenues at $1.003B and occupancy reaching 95.3%, while Regional grew revenues 3.0% to $1.43B. We remain concerned about the balance sheet with $11.9B total debt and operating income of $500M falling short of $569M in interest expense, highlighting ongoing debt service coverage challenges.
