The investment bank expects Melco Crown Entertainment and Galaxy Entertainment Group to deliver rises of 13 percent and 72 percent, respectively, in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) quarter-on-quarter, “much better than peninsula-based casinos,” analyst Praveen K. Choudhary wrote in an investors’ note.
Morgan Stanley expects the industry to see EBITDA growth for the third quarter of 2011 of 61 percent year-on-year and 7 percent quarter-on-quarter.
