Yearly Analysis
DraftKings’ stock is currently trading at EUR34.04, below its 52-week high of EUR34.49 but significantly above its 52-week low of EUR10.69. This suggests a strong comeback over the past year – but investors should keep in mind that its current valuation may be excessively expensive.
DraftKings is expected to see significant sales growth of 57.7% this year and 21.4% next year, as measured by its EBITDA, or operating profitability indicator. Unfortunately, however, DraftKings currently operates at an operating loss – which may cause alarm among some investors.
Before making investment decisions regarding DraftKings, investors should carefully assess its current valuation and financial performance. While its strong sales growth potential may tempt some, investors should also keep in mind its negative EBITDA and current stock price as these should all be factors to be taken into consideration.

Equity Analysis
DraftKings’ trailing twelve months EPS stands at EUR-2.58, representing negative earnings per share. Furthermore, their return on equity (ROE) for these twelve trailing months stands at negative 83.93%.
Negative earnings per share (EPS) figures may signal to potential investors that a company is currently unprofitable and should cause concern; however, companies can experience short-term negative EPS numbers due to investments for growth or other one-time expenses.
An ROE of -83.93% indicates that a company is currently not producing profits for its shareholders relative to their equity investment. Investors should carefully consider this factor alongside other financial metrics and qualitative considerations like growth prospects and competitive positioning when making investment decisions.
