DraftKings Inc. faces potential risks associated with its discretionary stock repurchase program, which was authorized by its Board of Directors on July 30, 2024, for up to $1.0 billion. This program could lead to reduced cash reserves, impacting the company’s ability to finance operations, capital projects, and strategic initiatives. Additionally, the repurchases might not achieve the intended goals of enhancing stockholder value or offsetting dilution from employee equity awards, and could instead increase stock price volatility. The possibility of terminating the program further adds uncertainty, possibly affecting the trading price of the company’s Class A common stock.

Overall, Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on DKNG stock based on 24 Buys and 3 Holds.
