Shares price of Caesars Entertainment Corporation is chaotically surging and slumping after The Wall Street Journal reported billionaire Carl Icahn intends to persuade the casino operator to put its stocks on the market.
On Friday, Caesars’ stock (CZR) rose approximately 2% following Icahn’s intention to induce the shareholders to sell the company, but at the end of the trading day it fell to 3%, reaching the minimum stock value for the first time since February 1. The fluctuation continued throughout the day, showing steep rises and declines in price.
Caesar’s stock value peaked in February 2014 when it was being traded at around $26 per share, whereas in November 2012 CZR depreciated to the lowest level ever and was available for less than $5 per share. Given the Icahn’s plans, CZR prices are currently balancing between $9.25 and $9.7.
Caesars Entertainment has received two offers for sale over the last year: one coming from Eldorado Resorts Inc., and another — from Golden Nugget Inc. Both offers were dismissed by the casino operator.
Caesars is deemed to be one of the most recognizable gambling organizations in the world, featuring more than 50 casinos located in 13 states and five countries. Its net income in the third fiscal quarter of 2018 amounted to $110 million, whereas in the same quarter of 2017 Caesars suffered a net loss of less than $400 million, according to Q3 18 official earnings report. To date, the company’s value is estimated at $6 billion, according to WSJ.
Carl Icahn previously had experience in the casino industry, investing in such gaming resorts as Sands Atlantic City in New Jersey, Stratosphere in Las Vegas, and Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. He is also known as the founder of Icahn Enterprises and an economic adviser on financial regulations to US President Donald Trump. Icahn is one of Wall Street’s “most successful investors” who has been shaking up corporate America for decades, Forbes magazine previously reported. It’s also stated that Icahn’s net worth is estimated at $17.8 billion, which puts him in Forbes top 400.
