Caesars Entertainment has rapidly growing revenues and increasing reinvestment in the business and strong operating margins with a positive growth rate. Additionally, the company's financial statements display generally positive cash flows and a strong EPS growth trend. However, the firm suffers from not enough current assets to cover current liabilities because its current ratio is 0.73 and a highly leveraged balance sheet.
