Why Rush Street Interactive Shares Are Moving Higher Again Today

Rush Street Interactive Inc (NYSE: RSI) is trading higher Thursday on above-average volume as investors focus on trader Will Meade's commentary on the stock via Twitter Inc (NYSE: TWTR).

The average session volume is about 1.5 million over a 100-day period. The daily trading volume had already exceeded 5 million at publication time. 

Meade highlighted a Sept. 15 Action Network article suggesting Fanatics is expected to close on a deal to buy a sportsbook operation. "Sources say RSI is in the lead for the rights to ESPN’s name in gambling," the article states.

Meade thinks Rush Street Interactive would be worth $24 or $25 per share on a buyout and $40 per share if it gets the ESPN deal. 

So in summary $RSI could be acquired by Fanatics (likely soon)
And $RSI is in the lead for the rights to ESPN’s name in gambling.
Based on previous takeover multiples of $SCR $GNOG
I think $RSI is worth $24-$25 on a buyout
If they get ESPN deal $40
