Macau sentiment appears to be bottoming and, while the timeline of a recovery is “admittedly unclear,” this is “more than priced in,” the analyst stated. “When that happens, we think a mix shift into higher margin mass/premium mass gaming will benefit EBITDA margins, not reflected in Street estimates,” he added.

“We see valuation support at ~$55/share (or down 10%) a level we think implies zero value for Macau and zero value for sports betting,” Chaiken further wrote.

WYNN Price Action: Shares of Wynn Resorts had risen by 8.88% to $66.04 at the time of publication Thursday.
