Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Consumer Discretionary is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar broken — Achieve at least 5.6% revenue growth next year: FY27 rev est +4.2% vs 5.6% target.
View ThesisRanks in the weakest quality tier of its industry — roughly the bottom 41%, softest on returns on capital.
View QualityManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery, margins.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 18% growth a year, above the roughly 6% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 41% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskPENN must achieve at least 5.6% revenue growth next year to justify its price. Recent estimates show FY27 revenue growth at only 4.2%. Revenue grew 5% year over year, and the last quarter beat expectations. PENN trades at 44.5× P/E versus a peer median of 14.5×. The market is pricing in more growth than we forecast, indicating expectations look full. A specific risk is the 32% probability of a miss in the next quarter. Peer multiples imply a price about 16% below where it trades (it looks expensive on this basis). This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-15. PENN is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

Today's peer multiple on trailing earnings, with no growth credited. This is the headline read.
Adds projected growth, so it leans optimistic by design. Read it as upside context, not a base case.
A price-focused, side-by-side fair-value read versus Casinos & Gaming — fair value, gap to price, and forward P/E.
Our valuation methods disagree too much on this name right now. Rather than print a number we don't believe, we're holding it back until they converge.
