Stock Recommendation:
PENN's share price has fallen 38.53% in the past six months and is currently leaning towards the lower end of its 52-week range of USD 37.76 to USD 142.00. We have valued the stock using the Price/Earnings-based relative valuation methodology and arrived at a target price of USD 42.90. As the company is estimating deterioration in FY22 metrics, increase in debt profile, current valuation, and unfavourable technical indicators, we recommend a "Sell" rating on the stock at the closing price of USD 49.69, up 5.19% as of February 24, 2022.
