The case for and against

Updated Jun 2, 2026

Bull case

Accel Entertainment is a well-established gaming company with potential for growth through expansion or mergers, but it faces competition from online gaming and has a limited float. However, the company's recent acquisition of Dynasty Gaming and its CEO's leadership could lead to improved stock rating and potential growth in new markets with legalized VGTs. A report recommends buying shares of MGM Resorts and Waste Management, while holding shares of ACEL.

Bear case

Accel Entertainment is facing multiple challenges, including a stagnating market in Illinois, where the company generates most of its revenue from. Additionally, its limited float hinders investor interest, and its management has not been effective in allocating capital, with limited potential for inorganic growth through M&A. The company's recent acquisitions have not been highly accretive, and its stock price has not seen significant volume or positive reaction despite key developments in the industry. Overall, Accel's future growth prospects look stagnant, and its stock price may continue to face headwinds in the near term.
