Did DKNG Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
DraftKings delivered a disappointing third quarter, missing on both the top and bottom lines as unfavorable sporting outcomes weighed heavily on results. Revenue came in at $1.14 billion, up 4.4% year-over-year but falling 4.81% short of the $1.20 billion consensus, while adjusted EPS of -$0.26 missed the -$0.26 estimate by 1.84%. The culprit was clear: Sportsbook revenue tumbled 9.3% to $596.12 million as net revenue margin compressed to 5.2% from 6.3%, even as handle climbed 10% to $11.40 billion, a dynamic that has kept <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/10/29/retail-investors-flip-bearish-as-draftkings-tumbles-toward-52-week-lows/">sentiment around the stock</a> cautious heading into the print. iGaming offered a meaningful offset, with that segment rising 24.9% to $451.30 million. Looking ahead, management revised full-year revenue guidance to $5.90 billion to $6.10 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to $450 million to $550 million, pointing to the pending DraftKings Predictions launch and a Missouri market entry as incremental growth drivers, even as near-term margin pressure from sport outcome volatility remains a watch item.
