A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today Boyd Gaming Corporation is in stage 4. The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 12 weeks running.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved +315% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 14 August 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

Boyd Gaming Corporation paid $0.78 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.20 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $77.70 that is a yield of 1.00%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Boyd Gaming is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

Boyd Gaming Corporation earned $124 M of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −91.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $1.8 B. Over 4 years profit has grown 41.1% a year on average. That is 12.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.4 B.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY25 profit was $1.8 B (+218.2% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −1.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −0.9 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −32.4% and revenue +0.3%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Boyd Gaming Corporation reported $990 M of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, −1.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 5.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $4.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $4.1 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +0.3% on average, against 5.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +0.3%, against +3.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −73.5%, against −0.3% a year (rolling over).

Boyd Gaming Corporation's operating margin was 19.7% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 0.9 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 22.1% and 28.0%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −13.6 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 94% of Boyd Gaming Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $977 M of operating cash against $1.8 B of profit. After $588 M of spending on assets, $388 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Boyd Gaming Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $1.4 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 11.1% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $1.4 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Boyd Gaming Corporation's P/E is 11.7×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 76% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 10.5×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +264.5% while the price moved −4.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range.

Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +10.5% a year; about −0.9% a year came from earnings growth and about +11.4 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple.

In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Boyd Gaming Corporation's business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE steady at 14.1%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.
