Boyd Gaming Exudes Confidence After Record Profits Announced
While the gambling sector might has taken a big hit during the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the following lockdown, a number of gambling operators have done well in recent times. The company reported a good performance in the third quarter and this is one of the reasons why they have agreed to repurchase $300 million in stock.
This is an incredible show of confidence in the gaming industry and what Boyd Gaming is expected to achieve in 2022.
Boyd Gaming has pointed out that it has seen consistent growth within its customer base. The company decided to focus on its existing customer base and making a more efficient business model in hopes of boosting growth and it seems to have succeeded.
According to the numbers, the company showed 42 percent growth in the third quarter. Those are just the initial numbers from the recent report. After corporate expenses are deducted, there was still an impressive 40.4 percent growth. This is a small but nice increase from the 36.6 percent from 2020.
