Read MoreHide Full Article
Boyd Gaming Corporation (BYD - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2020 results on Oct 26. In the last-reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 32.4%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at 14 cents, indicating a decline of 64.1% from 39 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark stands at nearly $571 million, indicating a decline of 30.3% from the prior-year quarter.
Let's take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Boyd Gaming’s financials in the third quarter of 2020 are likely to have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Although majority of the properties have reopened, the company is facing dismal traffic compared to the pre-pandemic levels.

However, efforts to expand portfolio and online offerings are likely to get reflected in the company’s results for the quarter.
