profitability

PENN Entertainment reports first-quarter earnings Thursday before markets open, drawing investor scrutiny over its interactive division's path to profitability amid cooling online betting demand. Analysts forecast earnings of $0.054 per share on $1.75 billion in revenue, a 25% sequential revenue jump from the prior quarter's $1.4 billion, though per-share profits dip from $0.07. The results will gauge whether the casino operator can sustain traditional operations while navigating digital gaming's maturing phase.
