Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD) unveiled a new $500 million share repurchase program on Friday, adding to the regional casino operator\u2019s recent tradition of capital return efforts.<\/p>\n

The Orleans operator said its board of directors approved the buyback plan. The news arrived in conjunction with the declaration of the gaming company\u2019s quarterly dividend of 16 cents a share. That will be paid on July 15 to shareholders of record as of June 15.<\/p>\n

Considering the additional authorization, the company had approximately $633 million remaining in repurchase authority as of March 31, 2023,\u201d<\/strong> according to a statement issued by the Las Vegas-based gaming operator.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the first quarter, Boyd bought back approximately $106 million worth of its own shares. The company had $263.5 million in cash on hand as of March 31, confirming its balance sheet is among the tidiest in the regional gaming space.<\/p>\n

Boyd Buyback Binge Continues<\/h2>\n

Boyd, which runs 28 gaming venues across 10 states, including 11 in its home city, is a dedicated buyer of its own stock.<\/p>\n

\n

Friday\u2019s buyback announcement arrived 11 months after<\/a> the Aliante operator revealed another $500 million repurchase plan. That followed the announcement of a $300 repurchase effort announced in October 2021. Boyd previously said it intends to buy back roughly $100 million of its shares per quarter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Said another way, if no further buyback authorizations are added, by late 2024, the casino operator will have repurchased $1.3 billion worth of its shares<\/a>. That\u2019s a significant percentage of its current market capitalization of $6.93 billion. Boyd is displaying commitment to shareholder rewards — something of a rarity these days in the gaming industry — and some analysts believe that effort will be undaunted should a recession come to pass.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe we would need to witness a recessionary environment way worse than what was witnessed in 2008\/2009 before BYD would have to materially change their current capital return program,\u201d wrote Stifel analyst Steven Wieczynski in a note out last month.<\/p>\n

Boyd Buying Back Undervalued Stock<\/h2>\n

Based on the $633 million in buyback power Boyd has, and its May 4 closing price of $68.16, the operator can repurchase 9.28 million of its shares, a significant percentage of its 105.53 million shares outstanding. The company may be getting a good deal because Wieczynski argued the stock is undervalued.<\/p>\n

You have a company that has a massively underlevered balance sheet, strong core fundamentals, real estate optionality, and a call option around sports betting, yet trades at a discount to certain peers,\u201d added the Stifel analyst.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The sports wagering optionality being referred to is Boyd\u2019s 5% stake in FanDuel. That\u2019s the largest online sportsbook operator in the US, boosting\u00a0profits<\/a> while adding market share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
