Churchill Downs is refinancing its balance sheet through a proposed $500 million senior secured Term Loan B due 2033 and related debt actions. The move comes as the company's share price has fallen 11.3% over the past 30 days and 28.1% year to date, with a 1 year total shareholder return down 17.6%. Churchill Downs also plans a strategic review and potential sale of nine regional gaming properties, aiming to recycle capital into higher return projects at Churchill Downs Racetrack, core HRM assets, and share repurchases. Under the most followed analyst view, the stock is seen as 39% undervalued, with a fair value of $130.83 per share against a last close of $80.46. Risks to that narrative include weaker performance from regional casinos or slower HRM venue expansion.
