Despite FX, the analysts at Oppenheimer see a favorable back-half setup on favorable NFL comps, more live betting adoption, and better cost leverage. Additionally, the analysts see a lower promotional environment, benefiting the company at the margin and are incrementally encouraged by non-OSB customer wins in Media.
