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
Accel delivered a record second quarter: revenue rose 10% year on year to $368 million, net income increased 72% and adjusted EBITDA rose 11%. Its location and terminal counts also grew, giving the business a larger base from which to build. (Stock Titan)
The core Illinois operation is earning more from its venues: gaming revenue excluding Fairmount Park rose 6%, while average location hold per day increased 9%. Fairmount Park also posted its highest quarterly gross profit since Accel acquired it. (Business Wire)
Growth beyond Illinois is widening Accel’s earnings base: Nebraska and Georgia reported significant adjusted EBITDA growth, and a Nevada route agreement adds about 600 terminals. These moves support expansion without relying solely on the established Illinois network. (Business Wire, Accel Entertainment)
Chicago offers upside, but the rollout still depends on both city and state approvals, and management expects full deployment to take more than five years. That leaves the timing and pace of a major growth opportunity uncertain. (Compliance+More)
Accel remains heavily exposed to Illinois, which generated about 72% of Q2 revenue; its Illinois location and terminal counts were down year on year. Stronger hold per venue helped revenue, but continued reliance on one state leaves results exposed to local conditions. (Yogonet International)
Q2 free cash flow was $10 million, or 16% of adjusted EBITDA; excluding a tax-credit purchase that shifted cash between quarters, it was $26 million, or 45%. Cash generation can therefore be uneven as the company funds equipment spending and expansion. (Stock Titan)
