Alternative ways to invest in DraftKings

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including DraftKings), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

DraftKings is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is DraftKings under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the DraftKings P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

DraftKings's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 0x. In other words, DraftKings's shares trade at around 0x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

DraftKings's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give None. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into DraftKings's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
