Caesars Shares Rise Amid Talks of $7B Sale

Dow Jones03-12

By Katherine Hamilton

Caesars Entertainment shares rose on a report that billionaire Tilman Fertitta is in talks to buy the company for $7 billion.

The stock popped 11% to $28.97 ahead of the Wednesday market close. Shares were up 4.5% over the past 12 months.

Fertitta's price, reported Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, would be higher than a competing offer from Carl Icahn's firm.

Fertitta's company, Fertitta Entertainment, is discussing paying around $34 a share for the gaming company. Caesars has also received an all-cash offer from Icahn Enterprise for $33 a share, The Journal reported.

Some potential buyers viewed Vici Properties, the real estate investment trust with whom Caesars is a major tenant, as a potential roadblock to a deal.

Proposals from Fertitta and Icahn Enterprises both involve structuring the deal in a way that would allow Caesars to split up without Vici's consent.

Prior to the news Wednesday, Caesars shares were down 6% over the past 12 months. The rise of prediction markets on other platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket are viewed by investors as a risk to the gambling industry.
