The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at a loss of 59 cents per share. In the past 30 days, estimated revisions have remained stable. In the last reported quarter, CNTY reported a loss of 36 cents per share. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $143.3 million, indicating a 0.3% decrease from a year ago.

Factors to Note Ahead of CNTY’s Q4 Results

The company’s results in the to-be-reported quarter are likely to be hurt by lower spending from low-end customers and declining non-rated play, indicating broader economic challenges. CNTY’s top line in third-quarter 2025 was hurt by temporary casino closures in Poland. Although these properties have reopened, the impact might have carried over into the fourth quarter.

However, new casino openings, cost efficiencies and strategic marketing efforts are likely to benefit the company’s results. Marketing efforts in key feeder markets like Ohio, Pennsylvania, D.C. and Baltimore are likely to have aided the company’s results.

The consensus mark for revenues from operations in Canada and the United States is pegged at $19.5 million and $103 million, respectively, which indicates growth of 1.6% and flat from the year-ago quarter’s figures. However, the consensus estimate for revenues from Poland is pegged at $20.5 million, implying a decline of 5.2% from the prior-year tally. 

On the other hand, higher operating costs and expenses are likely to have hurt the bottom line in the quarter to be reported.
