Caesars Entertainment (US12738T1034) held at $29.76 on August 21, 2026, with a $6.06 billion market cap and a 52-week range of $17.86 to $30.88. The shares ended the week with a flat daily change and sat just below the high end of that range.
Market context
The latest quoted move leaves Caesars within 3.64% of its 52-week high of $30.88, while the stock has already gained 27.2% since January 1, 2026. Volume stood at 1.36 million shares, below the 3.92 million average volume shown in the same snapshot.
Consensus expectations remain cautious, with a Hold rating and a $30.71 target in the same market snapshot. That leaves the stock a little below the target and close to the upper end of its annual trading band.
Latest reported quarter
The most recent operating update in the live result set is Q1 CY2026, when revenue rose 2.7% year over year to $2.87 billion and adjusted EBITDA reached $887 million. The GAAP loss was $0.48 per share, wider than the $0.24 per-share loss implied by analyst expectations in the same report.
That mix matters for investors because the quarter showed revenue growth, but earnings remained negative. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 30.9%, while operating margin was 17.4%, which frames the business as profitable on an operating cash basis but still under pressure at the bottom line.
Business segment
Caesars continues to lean on integrated gaming and hospitality assets, with digital and casino traffic tied to its core resort network. The operating mix matters because the Q1 CY2026 revenue base of $2.87 billion has to support both the land-based portfolio and the online push.
Historically, the quarter also compared with a $0.54 per-share loss in the same quarter last year, which shows the loss narrowed year over year even as it stayed in negative territory. For now, the market is valuing that improvement against a 2026 share price that remains near the top of the stock's yearly band.
More on Caesars Entertainment
Caesars Entertainment's product set spans hotels, casinos, sports wagering, and digital gaming, so the company is not a single-line consumer play. That mix is why the market keeps comparing growth in revenue and EBITDA with leverage and cash generation.
