What happened?
Shares of online casino and sports betting company Rush Street Interactive (NYSE: RSI) fell 9.4% in the afternoon session after investors continued to bid down on the company's reported third-quarter earnings which missed revenue estimate targets. On the earnings call, the company reported third-quarter revenue of $385.9 million, up 39%, and adjusted EBITDA of $62.2 million, up 73%. Online casinos made up 75% of revenue and grew 32%. Online sports betting grew 70%. Latin America revenue grew 218%, while North America revenue grew 14%. Chief Executive Officer Richard Schwartz said North American online casino and sports markets grew at a more measured pace in the quarter, and that September brought the worst sports hold of the year in both the United States and Latin America. President and Chief Financial Officer Kyle Sauers reiterated full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $1.56 billion to $1.60 billion and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $245 million to $265 million. He said October operating trends put revenue closer to the low end of that range and adjusted EBITDA near the midpoint. He tied the revenue gap mainly to slower North American online-casino market growth, and said the company continued to gain share against publicly traded peers.
