    Churchill Downs (CHDN) just delivered a busy late October, pairing its third quarter earnings release with a higher annual dividend and a fresh authorization for large share repurchases.

    Churchill Downs shares have clearly reacted to the flurry of updates, with a 1-day share price return of 4.03% and a 7-day move of 13.26%. This has built into a 30-day gain of 24.69% and a 90-day share price return of 13.61%, even as the year-to-date share price return is still down 15.29% and the 1-year total shareholder return is down 4.03%. This hints that recent earnings, dividend increases, venue plans in Virginia, board changes, and ongoing buybacks are shifting sentiment after a tougher multi year stretch, where total shareholder returns over three and five years have declined 19.28% and 20.33% respectively.
