Boyd Gaming Executive Uri Clinton recently sold 2,500 shares of the company's stock for $205,200. This sale comes after Boyd Gaming completed the sale of its 5% equity interest in FanDuel to Flutter Entertainment for $1.758 billion. The transaction has bolstered Boyd's financial flexibility and analysts have adjusted their price targets upwards. Mizuho and Stifel raised their targets due to the company's improving fundamentals and compelling valuation. Despite some challenges, Boyd's strategic focus on debt reduction and capital returns has been well-received.

Boyd Gaming Corp's General Counsel and Secretary, Clinton Uri, recently sold 2,500 shares of the company's stock for $205,200 on August 8, 2025 [1]. This transaction follows Boyd Gaming's completion of the sale of its 5% equity interest in FanDuel to Flutter Entertainment for approximately $1.755 billion [2]. The sale of shares by Uri comes as Boyd Gaming seeks to enhance its financial flexibility and capital returns.

The acquisition of FanDuel by Flutter Entertainment, which closed on July 31, 2025, has significantly bolstered Boyd Gaming's financial position. The deal, valued at approximately $1.755 billion, includes a $1.55 billion purchase of Boyd's equity stake and roughly $200 million for restructuring commercial terms between the companies [2]. This transaction positions Flutter to fully leverage FanDuel’s dominance in the U.S. sports betting and iGaming markets.

Following the acquisition, Boyd Gaming will continue to receive fixed fees from FanDuel's mobile sports betting operations in several states while benefiting from strengthened balance sheet flexibility. FanDuel, now fully controlled by Flutter, will manage Boyd's retail sportsbooks outside Nevada until mid-2026, when Boyd assumes full operational control [2].

The transaction has been well-received by analysts, who have adjusted their price targets upwards. Mizuho and Stifel have raised their targets due to the company's improving fundamentals and compelling valuation. Boyd Gaming's strategic focus on debt reduction and capital returns has been particularly well-received by the market.

Despite some challenges in the competitive U.S. market, Boyd Gaming's financial flexibility and strategic partnership with Flutter Entertainment position the company for future growth. The expansion of U.S. sports betting across state markets provides an opportunity for FanDuel to capitalize on increasing legalization and customer adoption of online wagering platforms.
