DraftKings Stock Plummeted 15% After Hours –What Is Driving Such A Selloff?

• DraftKings in Q4 reported revenue of $1,989 million, an increase of 43%, compared to the same period in 2024.
• The increase in the Q4 2025 revenue was driven primarily by continued healthy customer engagement, efficient acquisition of new customers, and higher Sportsbook net revenue margin. 

DraftKings shares nosedived in after-market hours on Thursday after its full year 2026 forecast fell short of expectations and disappointed investors. 

It said it is expecting fiscal year 2026 revenue to be in the range of $6.5 billion to $6.9 billion, compared to analysts’ estimates of $7.3 billion, as per data from fiscal.ai. 

“Our core business is strong as we enter 2026,” said Jason Robins, DraftKings’ Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder. “We also see a massive, incremental opportunity in DraftKings Predictions. We plan to deploy growth capital to build the best customer experience in Predictions, and acquire millions of customers. We have the playbook to execute and win.”

Q4 Highlights

DraftKings for the three months ended December 31, 2025, reported revenue of $1,989 million, an increase of $596 million, or 43%, compared to $1,393 million during the same period in 2024.

The increase in the company’s fourth quarter 2025 revenue was driven primarily by continued healthy customer engagement, efficient acquisition of new customers, and higher Sportsbook net revenue margin, according to the company. 

“We closed 2025 on a high note. Fourth quarter revenue increased 43% year-over-year and we achieved records for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA,” said Robins. 

DraftKings’ Average Revenue per MUP (“ARPMUP”) was $139 in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 43% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher net revenue margin across both Sportsbook and iGaming.
