BALY Bally's Corp
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Bally's Corp reported Q1 2026 revenue of $755.7M (+28.3% YoY), with growth driven by the Intralot acquisition and strength in UK iGaming and North America Interactive. The company also paid a $500M NY gaming license fee and refinanced debt with a new $1.1B credit facility, replacing a $1.47B term loan. Historical performance shows the model has over-scored this ticker previously (avg -11.9% T+20), warranting a neutral rating despite solid top-line growth.
Actionable Insight
The revenue beat vs low analyst coverage (1 analyst) is less meaningful. The key catalysts to watch are the Bronx casino project timeline, Chicago casino opening, and UK gaming tax impact on Bally's Intralot margins. Debt refinancing improves maturity profile but leverage remains high at ~5.8x pro forma EBITDA. Monitor the 10-Q for GAAP profitability and cash flow details.

Financial Impact
Revenue $755.7M (+28.3% YoY reported, but prior-year period is a short successor period making direct comparison unreliable). $500M license fee paid. Debt reduced by ~$73M net after refinancing.
Risk Factors
- High leverage with $4.4B in net debt despite recent refinancing
- $500M NY license fee represents significant cash outflow; cash and equivalents $798M at Dec 2025 could tighten
- UK remote gaming duty increase effective April 2026 could pressure B2C margins
- Heavy capex requirements for Chicago, Las Vegas, and Bronx developments with uncertain timelines
- GAAP net income remains negative (Q4 2025 showed GAAP EPS -$5.83); no profitability timeline guided
