That figure was based on 36 recommendations, including 24 Strong Buy ratings and three Buy ratings.

These targets are estimates rather than guarantees and may be revised as DraftKings reports earnings, changes guidance, or faces developments in the online-gaming market.
GuruFocus estimated DraftKings’ GF Value at $51.89 when the shares traded at $25.30. Although this comparison suggested that the shares were trading below GuruFocus’ estimated value, the research firm also assigned a “Possible Value Trap” label. This label indicates that an apparently low valuation alone may not be sufficient, and investors should also consider financial strength, profitability, competition, regulatory exposure, and future growth prospects.
