Sumario

(Macau).- Wells Fargo analyst Cameron McKnight said in an investors note recently released that he expects the city’s casino industry to post a gross gaming revenue growth rate of between 4 % to 10 % year-on-year for the second half of 2012.

McKnight lowered the valuation ranges for Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts, due to the slower Macau gaming market growth, their market share losses here and the lacklustre macro-environment in China. Las Vegas Sands is the parent company of Sands China, while Wynn Resorts controls Wynn Macau.

Wells Fargo cut Las Vegas Sands’ valuation range to us$ 35-us$ 47 from us$ 52-us$ 61, while Wynn Resorts’ valuation range was lowered to us$ 93-us$ 110 from us$ 114-us$ 136.
