Accel Entertainment Reports Strong Q3 2026 Growth Driven by Illinois Performance and Market Expansion
Accel Entertainment (ACEL) delivered robust third-quarter 2026 results, highlighted by a 10% year-over-year increase in total net revenue to $363.6 million. Net income saw a significant surge of 55%, reaching $20.6 million, while Adjusted EBITDA grew 12% to $57.5 million. This growth was largely underpinned by strong performance in Illinois and substantial revenue gains in Nebraska and Georgia. The company is entering a new expansion phase with the acquisition of licenses in Chicago, which management expects will drive organic growth over several years using existing infrastructure. While most markets remain robust, leadership noted a decline in demand within the Las Vegas market and warned that construction costs for the Fairmount Casino build-out may be 15% to 20% higher than previously estimated.
