The sports betting and online gambling market will be big enough for DraftKings and Penn National Gaming to succeed, according to investment firm Needham.

Analyst Bernie McTernan initiated coverage of both stocks on Monday night with buy ratings, saying the U.S. market will end up being stronger on a per-capita basis than the United Kingdom and Australia, a common comparison point for those who are more skeptical of the space.
