Full House Resorts, Inc. (FLL)

Full House Resorts is growing revenue but remains constrained by a highly levered balance sheet. Trailing profitability is still negative (net margin about -12%) and solvency indicators are stressed (negative equity, very low Altman Z-Score, weak interest coverage). The latest 10-Q shows near-term liquidity and covenant compliance, yet the revolver's Aug 2027 maturity and the notes due Feb 2028 put refinancing and successful property ramp-up (American Place/Chamonix) at the center of the thesis. With earnings-based valuation not meaningful (loss-making) and enterprise multiples not obviously bargain-level, this is better treated as a watchlist/speculation rather than a fundamentals-driven long.

Near-term trading narrative is centered on the Aug 6 Q2 release (operational improvement but continued losses/leverage) followed by an Aug 8 sell-side downgrade; last ~14d media tone is mildly positive but cooled versus the prior 30–90d construction-groundbreaking optimism (polarity_score ~+0.16 vs ~+0.58). Legal/regulatory scan did not surface any regulator-confirmed investigations in the last 90 days.

Failed bounce and bearish trend stack: price is back below SMA20/50/200 and EMA9/21 after the Aug. 7 pop, MACD remains below zero, and ADX above 40 says the prevailing move is still bearish rather than repairing.
