Recently, Baron Growth Fund published its Q3 2021 investor letter and mentioned Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NYSE:PENN) in it. Here is what the firm has to say:

“Shares of regional casino company Penn National Gaming, Inc. declined as investors fretted about lower market share in online sports betting, and more aggressive marketing spend from competitors in their facility-based businesses. We believe Penn’s recently announced acquisition of Score Media and Gaming, combined with its Barstool acquisition last year, should help drive customers to its betting App, enhancing its market share. Penn has a strong balance sheet with earnings growth accelerating over time.”
