What the Analysts think about ACEL
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Accel Entertainment stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Accel Entertainment stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Q2 2026 delivered strong operating momentum: revenue reached a record $368.1 million, up 10% year over year, adjusted EBITDA rose 11% to $58.9 million, and net income increased 72%. (SEC)
The platform continues to expand beyond its core Illinois base: locations grew 6% and gaming terminals 7% year over year, while Accel added approximately 600 Nevada terminals and reported significant adjusted-EBITDA growth in Nebraska and Georgia. (Accel Entertainment)
Capital allocation remains supportive of per-share value creation: Accel repurchased approximately 500,000 shares for $5.6 million in Q2, ended the quarter at roughly 1.4x net leverage, and retained an undrawn $300 million revolving credit facility. (Accel Entertainment)
Illinois remains a material concentration risk: Q2 2026 Illinois revenue was $264.5 million, roughly 72% of company revenue, while Illinois locations declined 1.8% year over year. (SEC)
Balance-sheet risk has not disappeared: net debt was $317.9 million at June 30, 2026, while six-month free-cash-flow conversion was only 26.5% of adjusted EBITDA. (SEC)
Near-term growth depends partly on execution and regulatory timing: Chicago terminals still require city licenses and Illinois Gaming Board approvals, while CEO Andy Rubenstein is transitioning to chairman. (Accel Entertainment)
