Namely, both companies are in the business of providing consumers with their sports entertainment needs from home. In particular, DraftKings is even looking to grow its offerings by launching its own sports-themed non-fungible token marketplace. Aside from that, marijuana stocks such as Cannabis Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) would also benefit from the expanding legal weed market in the U.S. Overall, there is likely a leisure stock for most investors out there.
