Thursday, May 23, 8:06 AM Macau-sensitive stocks could swing lower as a subpar reading on China PMI casts doubts on the strength of the economy in the nation. Any type of sustained slowdown in China would rattle the sector with double-digit gaming revenue from Macau baked into valuations. On watch: MGM, MPEL, WYNN, LVS. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, May 22, 3:10 PM Growth in Macau isn't showing any signs of slowing down after shooting to $38B last year (6X more than Las Vegas) as a double-digit growth pace has become the norm in 2013. After a lot of consternation over a drop in VIP revenue, casinos in the region have proven adept at diversifying their customer base. New transportation infrastructure and the growing number of Macau hotel rooms are two more revenue drivers for gaming firms Melco Crown (MPEL -0.9%), Las Vegas Sands (LVS -1.2%), Wynn Resorts (WYNN -0.2%), Galaxy Entertainment (GXYEF.PK), and MGM Resorts (MGM -2.6%).

The revised forecast is positive for Macau-sensitive stocks such as Melco Crown (MPEL), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), MGM Resorts (MGM), and Wynn Resorts (WYNN). 2 Comments [Consumer]
