Bank of America upgrades DraftKings to Buy after 19% monthly decline

Bank of America analyst Shaun Kelley upgraded DraftKings (DKNG) to Buy from Neutral and kept a $27 price target. The upgrade follows a 19% drop in DraftKings shares over the past month and a Q2 2026 revenue miss of $1.44 billion. Kelley cited the company’s prediction‑market exchange as a positive catalyst and said the risk of cannibalization has lessened.

The upgrade may attract new buying interest and support the stock price after a sharp sell‑off, as noted by the analyst. The maintained $27 target gives investors a concrete valuation reference.
