On August 28, DraftKings Inc. rose 5.62% in regular trading, trading at $25.69/share, with turnover of $131 million. The rally was driven by the announcement that DraftKings, Flutter Entertainment unit FanDuel, and Fanatics Betting and Gaming have signed multiyear commercial agreements with the National Football League ahead of the 2026 season.

The NFL partnership represents a significant commercial milestone for DraftKings, reinforcing its position as one of the league's official sportsbook partners. The deal comes at a critical juncture for the company, which recently reported a mixed Q2 with revenue of $1.44 billion (below the $1.51 billion estimate) and adjusted EPS of $0.09 (below the $0.17 consensus), while monthly unique payers of 3.6 million exceeded the 3.1 million estimate. The company also recently optimized its capital structure through a $600 million term loan and expanded its revolving credit facility to $750 million.

Within the Casinos and Gaming sector, Flutter Entertainment rose 4.91%, Las Vegas Sands gained 1.63%, Wynn added 1.63%, Caesars Entertainment edged up 0.02%, while Red Rock declined 0.88%.
