Century Casinos, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNTY) is a gaming company that operates casinos and entertainment venues across North America and Europe. The company is known for its diverse portfolio of gaming properties, which include casinos, hotels, and racetracks. Despite its broad reach, Century Casinos faces competition from other major players in the gaming industry, such as MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment.

On March 13, 2026, Jeffrey Stantial from Stifel Nicolaus set a price target of $2.50 for CNTY, suggesting a potential upside of approximately 90.84% from its current trading price of $1.31. This optimistic outlook comes amid the company's recent financial performance, which was discussed during its Q4 2025 earnings call. The call, available on Seeking Alpha, provided insights into the company's financial health and strategic plans.

Century Casinos reported a quarterly loss of $0.61 per share, which was larger than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a $0.46 loss. Despite this, the loss shows a slight improvement from the $0.69 loss per share recorded a year ago. The earnings report reflects a negative surprise of 32.61%, continuing a trend of missing consensus EPS estimates over the past four quarters.

For the quarter ending December 2025, CNTY reported revenues of $138 million, slightly below the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.77%. This revenue figure is nearly unchanged from the $137.77 million reported in the same quarter the previous year. The company has not surpassed consensus revenue estimates in the last four quarters, indicating challenges in meeting market expectations.

Despite these challenges, Century Casinos experienced a 13% growth in Adjusted EBITDAR and improved margins in Q4 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Co-CEOs Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger expressed satisfaction with improvements in the lower-end of their customer base. They are also exploring strategic options, including the potential sale of operations in Poland, to unlock further value.
