Coming off a modest weekly loss, but still up 55.66% year-to-date, DraftKings Stock has reasons for investors to be cautiously optimistic, but the shares could tread water over the near term following the sizable jump to start 2023.

Gural last month said he would be forced to close the historic harness racetrack unless state lawmakers in Albany provided the property with substantial tax savings.
