Deutsche Bank's Carlo Santarelli initiated coverage of Caesars Entertainment with a Buy rating and $14 price target.

While near-term concerning trends on the Las Vegas Strip could provide investors with a better entry point, the longer-term bullish case for the stock can be made for six reasons, the analyst said: 

  • Expectations for high-single digit adjusted EBITDAR growth through 2020.
  • A compelling and visible collection of owned assets that are easy to value.
  • Exposure to regional gaming markets, which are showing momentum and are supported by consolidation activity ,which warrants a higher multiple valuation.
  • Potential to utilize the balance sheet for strategic alternatives and action to support the stock.
  • Better performance compared to Vegas peers. 
  • The company's pipeline of low-risk projects.

Price Action

Caesars Entertainment shares were trading up 1.77 percent at $10.08 at the time of publication Wednesday afternoon.
