DraftKings raises 2026 investment in prediction markets, impacting near-term profit but boosting growth.

DraftKings is increasing its 2026 investment in its prediction markets to $650-$700 million, which is pressuring near-term profits despite strong revenue growth. The company reported $1.33 billion in Q3 revenue, up 16%, and a 36% rise in sportsbook net revenue, with monthly unique payers growing 13%. However, DraftKings posted a $317 million adjusted EBITDA loss mainly due to higher spending on its Predictions business. Analysts remain cautious due to regulatory and competitive risks, but the company views this expansion as a potential source of steadier future revenue.

DraftKings stock trades at USD 18.23 on Pluang as of Nov 09, 2026 18:31 WIB, down 1.51% for the day. The company has a market cap of $9.19 billion and an enterprise value of $10.37 billion. Typical hold time for DKNG on Pluang is 56 days, reflecting moderate investor interest amid its ongoing investment expansion.
