Base target: $50 / p=50% prob

Biggest risk

Q2 revenue, net income, and adjusted property EBITDA declined year over year; unusually low Macao rolling-play hold may persist, while leverage and execution across resort investments remain risks. Analyst estimate and target revisions are unavailable.

Invalidation

Break below $37 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Singapore remains resilient, Macao gaming volumes continue growing, and normalization of rolling-play hold restores EBITDA while substantial repurchases support per-share value. [#SEC-8K-2026-07-22]

Commentary

Recent coverage is mixed-to-negative after Q2 adjusted EPS and revenue missed consensus, while Singapore performance and Macao volume growth provided offsets. Stored context reports shares down about 0.1% since the earnings report. Social, options, short-interest, and employee-sentiment data are unavailable; zero values are placeholders for unavailable fields, not positive signals. The next earnings date is only an estimate, and analyst revision data is unavailable, so confidence remains moderate.
