Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $582M in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

Bally's Corporation owns and operates casinos, hotels, and sports betting services across the United States. Its customers are everyday gamblers and resort guests who visit its physical casino properties or place bets through its online and mobile platforms. The company owns the Bally's brand and runs over a dozen casino properties in states like Rhode Island, Mississippi, and Colorado, while also building a large casino in Chicago.

Bally's makes money through casino gaming revenue, hotel stays, food and beverage sales, and online sports betting and iGaming fees. It operates almost entirely in the United States and is a mid-sized player in a crowded industry dominated by larger rivals like MGM and Caesars. The company carries significant debt from years of rapid acquisitions, and its near-zero operating margin shows it is spending heavily to grow — the Chicago casino project and online gambling expansion are key bets on future revenue, but rising interest costs remain a serious financial risk.

Cash watch

Bally's Corporation has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
