Argus analyst John Staszak lowered his price target on International Game to $18 from $20 to reflect its "disappointing" Q4 earnings and volatile equipment revenue. The analyst is keeping his Buy rating however, noting that the recent sell-off in the company's stock price represents a buying opportunity given its overall trend of solid free cash flows and efforts to reduce debt, along with the company's steadily growing lottery business and the recent legalization of U.S. sports betting. Staszak adds that casinos "have been slow to upgrade their equipment in recent years" and expects positive impact from the anticipated revitalization of "franchises like Wheel of Fortune".
