Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BALY

09/25/2026: BALY (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Bally's Corp is an omni-channel gaming entity that combines a stable regional casino business with a growing digital interactive platform. The company's main strength lies in its physical asset base, which provides necessary cash flow to support its ambitious expansion into online sports betting and iGaming. While the opportunity to capture share in the evolving digital market is significant, Bally's faces notable risks, including high debt levels, intense competition from well-funded rivals, and execution challenges regarding digital profitability. The stock is generally better suited for investors with a higher risk tolerance, and key developments to monitor include management's progress on debt reduction and digital platform performance.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
BALY receives a 2-star rating, supported by available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BALY has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-23.5%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -10.4%), moderate revenue growth (+8.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BALY's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 41.9% of revenue). Liquidity is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is BALY's strongest growth driver at +8.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-23.5%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-221.0%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 75.5% and approximately 23.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 12.50% supports management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
BALY generates approximately $430 of gross profit, $11 of operating income, and $-104 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.
