Gaming stocks had quite the day on Tuesday, with Bragg Gaming Group (TSX:BRAG) and Enthusiast Gaming Holdings (TSX:EGLX)(NASDAQ:EGLX) each moving in opposite directions. The former jumped 12%, while the latter fell by 14% as of writing.
What happened? Each of these gaming companies had their own results come in over the last few days. However, Bragg stock managed to follow up its strong results with news of more international deals. The company’s iGaming content is now live in the Bahamas. This comes just days after entering the Italian market as well.
Enthusiast Gaming stock, however, didn’t win over investors during its latest earnings results. While revenue soared 130% year over year for the year, and profit was up 102%, news of an internal shakeup likely sent shares downwards. The company’s president along with a board member announced their resignations.

Now what? Analysts weighed in on Enthusiast’s results, stating it still maintained substantial growth, even though it was in line with estimates.

This led to a downgrade of the stock’s target price.
