🚀 Insider Buying: Betting Big from the Top

Trigger: The CEO Daniel Lee just bought 276,300 shares at $4.75 (total: $1.3M). That’s a 22% stake increase — a massive bet.

Oh, and just a month earlier, Director Eric Green scooped up 25,000 shares at $3.40.

🌊 Momentum or mirage?

📈 Financial Funhouse: A Bit of a Gamble

• 2024 Revenues: $292.1M ↑ +21.2% YOY

• Net Loss: $(40.7M) — due to construction and depreciation

• Adjusted EBITDA: Flat at $48.6M

• Cash on Hand: $40.2M

• Debt: $450M in senior notes + $27M revolver

Yes, they're building fast, but the debt? Let’s just say the drinks at the bar might be cheaper than their borrowing costs. 🍻

🎓 Q1 2025 Highlights:

• Revenue: $75.1M (+7.3% YOY)

• Net Loss: $(9.8M)

• Adjusted EBITDA: $11.5M

American Place hit nearly $11M in March gaming revenue. Chamonix grew revenue 33.9%. Silver Slipper is back on its feet under new leadership.

So yes, they’re growing—but they’re also bleeding. 🎭

🔢 Valuation Station:

🎲 Valuation Check: Is This a Royal Flush or Just Flashy?

📊 P/S Ratio: 0.37 — Cheap! Like a blackjack win with no tip. 🃏
📚 P/B Ratio: 3.57 — Whoa! Pricey in book terms. Maybe there's more than just chips in the pot? 💰📘
🏛️ EV/Revenue: 2.05 — Reasonable. The house isn’t giving it away, but you’re not overpaying either. 🏠💵
💸 EV/EBITDA: 13.96 — Hmm. That’s high for a casino still losing money. 🎰💭

🧐 Translation? Some of these numbers suggest the market is betting on potential, not current profits. You're not just buying a stock — you're buying the dream. ✨💼

🎯 Verdict: May not be a steal, but the table's hot — and the dealer just bought in.

✨ So... Is the House Full or the Glass Half Empty?

✅ The Good:

• High revenue growth

• CEO buying big

• Properties gaining traction

❌ The Risks:

• Still unprofitable

• High debt

• Elevated valuation based on earnings

🎲 Verdict: Bet... but Bet Responsibly

Full House might just be a future jackpot — but for now, it’s more of a speculative hand than a safe bet.

Not the worst bet at all. But make no mistake: It’s a bet.
