▼ + stars: | 2024-11-14 | by ( Contessa Brewer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Billionaire Tilman Fertitta has increased his ownership stake in Wynn Resorts to 9.9%, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Wynn Resorts and Fertitta declined to comment on his increased stake. He is frequently outspoken about issues that affect Las Vegas, whether it is Formula One or historic union wage contracts. Wynn Las Vegas is the top-of-the-line, uber-luxurious resort on the Strip, and it owns two high-end resorts in Macao. That position gave him a 6.2% stake in the company and made him the second-largest individual shareholder in Wynn, after co-founder Elaine Wynn.

☆ The market unfairly docks Wynn after a strong quarter. But we see a buying opportunity
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-09 | by ( Jeff Marks | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +8 min

But investor concerns over an unevenness to the Macao recovery sparked selling in afterhours trading, sending Wynn stock down more than 5% — and creating a potential buying opportunity. Despite these positives, Thursday evening's sell-off brought Wynn stock to about $40 below the level at which was trading in 2019. However, the company's two properties in the region – Wynn Palace and Wynn Macao – are not enjoying an equal pace of recovery. In the third quarter of 2023, Wynn Macao generated about $78 million in profits, which when annualized is only $312 million. The weakness at Wynn Macao has the market concerned Thursday about a loss of market share.

The UAE introduced a new regulatory body to oversee commercial gaming on Monday, made up of casino and gambling experts from the United States. Gambling is currently illegal in the UAE, where some laws are based on the Quran, which forbids the practice. The new federal body, called the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), would create a “regulatory framework for a national lottery and commercial gaming,” according to Emirati state media WAM. “[GCGRA will] facilitate unlocking the economic potential of commercial gaming responsibly,” WAM said. “I look forward to establishing a robust regulatory body and framework for the UAE’s lottery and gaming industry,” Mullally said on his new appointment, according to WAM.

☆ This casino stock can jump 30% as Macao market recovers despite macro headwinds, Barclays says
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Brian Evans | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Wynn Resorts has more to gain as a recovery in its Macao properties continues, according to Barclays. It also hiked its price target on the stock to $135 from $120. Despite the already strong gain for the stock, analyst Brandt Montour thinks the casino operator remains "under appreciated by the market." And the company's Las Vegas business remains strong, Montour noted. CEO Craig Billings said during the company's first-quarter earnings call earlier this month that Wynn Las Vegas had a record adjusted net EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring or rent costs) of $232 million.

As investors weigh the possibility of a U.S. recession or a soft landing, there are certain stocks that should outperform in either scenario, according to Evercore ISI. However, Evercore ISI is among those on Wall Street that have a base-case scenario of a recession in the second half of the year. The other is what he calls " valmentum stocks " — value stocks with momentum — that have high free-cash-flow yield and strong earnings-per-share momentum, he added. Booking Holdings is one of Evercore ISI's valmentum stocks and could rally about 15% from Friday's close, according to the firm's price target of $3,000. Wynn is up more than 40% year to date, while Las Vegas Sands stock has gained more than 26%.
