RSI

Analyst Note: RSI (Rush Street Interactive, Inc.) Date: 2026-06-20 Event Date: 2026-06-20

1. Structural Readiness

• Setup State: Watchlist
• Conservative Entry: — (Not yet triggered; awaiting a confirmed breakout above the structural resistance level)
• Current Price: $29.09
• Extension: — (No extension data provided for the current price relative to the breakout level)
• Breakout Level: — (The specific resistance level required to fire the breakout is not defined in the current data set)
• ATR Context: Current ATR is 4.1% (High). This falls within the historical "sweet spot" (4–6%) for structural quality, suggesting sufficient volatility to support a move without the extreme risk profile associated with >8% ATR.

2. Thesis Layer

As of 2026-06-20, RSI is classified as a TACTICAL, setup-led name. There is no named secular thesis attached to this specific setup in the current evidence base. The investment case must be judged strictly on the quality of the price structure (setup readiness) and the immediate business fundamentals provided in the recent earnings data. No macro or thematic thesis should be invented to bolster the conviction; the weight of the argument rests on the execution of the growth plan and the structural integrity of the price action.

• Revenue: Generated record revenue of $370.4 million, a 41% year-over-year increase from $262.4 million in Q1 2025.
• Adjusted EBITDA: Reported record adjusted EBITDA of $60.2 million, up 81% year-over-year from $33.2 million.
• Segment Growth: Online casino revenue grew 39% and online sports betting revenue grew 47%. Regionally, North America grew 26% and Latin America surged 134%.
• User Growth: Monthly active users (MAUs) in North America grew 46% to 296,000, while Latin America MAUs increased 54% to 543,000.
• Market Share: Management estimates a sequential market share growth of approximately 90 basis points in North American online casino markets.
• Efficiency: Costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 64% in Q1 2026 from 65% in the prior year period.
• Guidance (Raised): In the April 28, 2026 earnings call, management raised full-year 2026 guidance:
• Revenue: Expected range of $1.49 billion to $1.54 billion (31% to 36% YoY growth).
• Adjusted EBITDA: Expected range of $230 million to $250 million (50% to 63% YoY growth).
• Catalysts: Management noted a regulatory launch date of July 13 for a new market, described as a "significant expansion opportunity."
• Workforce: As of February 17, 2026, the company employed approximately 912 people, with 35% in technical roles.

4. Archetype and Conviction

• Archetype: Growth Leader.
• Fit: The company demonstrates classic growth leader characteristics: accelerating revenue (41% YoY), expanding margins (EBITDA growth of 81% vs. revenue growth of 41%), and rapid user acquisition (MAU growth of 46-54%). The raised guidance and market share gains reinforce the "leader" status within its specific niche.
• Valuation & Conviction Context:
• Thesis Strength: Moderate. The thesis is tactical and setup-led, lacking a broad secular macro thesis, but the fundamental execution is strong.
• Evidence Quality: High. The evidence base is robust, featuring multiple primary sources (earnings transcripts, 10-K/10-Q filings) with high confidence scores (0.65–0.70). The data is point-in-time and consistent.
• Rerating Potential: Significant. The combination of raised guidance, double-digit EBITDA growth, and expansion into new markets (July 13 launch) provides a clear path for multiple expansion if the breakout confirms.
• Conviction Stack: The setup is currently a "watchlist" item. The fundamental spine is strong, but the price structure requires confirmation (breakout) to move from a "forming" signal to a "confirmed" trade.

5. Invalidations, Strengtheners, and Gaps

• Strengtheners: A confirmed breakout above the structural resistance level (firing the coil) would be the primary technical strengthener. Continued sequential market share gains and sustained EBITDA margin expansion would further strengthen the case.
• Gaps in Evidence:
• Valuation Multiples: No specific P/E, EV/EBITDA, or P/S multiples are provided in the evidence to contextualize the $29.09 price against historical or peer valuations.
• Debt/Capital Structure: While workforce and revenue are detailed, specific details on debt levels or capital allocation plans (M&A, buybacks) are not explicitly detailed in the provided evidence snippets.

PRIVATE ANALYST CALL

Judgment: Buy Confidence: medium Key evidence: Raised full-year 2026 guidance to $1.49B-$1.54B revenue and $230M-$250M EBITDA; Q1 2026 record revenue of $370.4M (+41% YoY) and record EBITDA of $60.2M (+81% YoY); 90 basis points sequential market share gain in NA online casino. Key risks: Failure to launch new market on July 13 regulatory date; potential regulatory delays in Texas or other pending markets; high volatility (4.1% ATR) leading to false breakouts or rapid reversals if structure fails. Sizing hint: Position size should reflect the "forming" status of the coil; maintain a smaller initial allocation until the breakout fires, with the option to add on confirmation. Expected path: Management expects continued double-digit growth driven by the July 13 launch and existing market expansion; price likely consolidates to build the forming coil before attempting a breakout above resistance. Expected horizon: 3 to 6 months for the setup to resolve (breakout or invalidation).
