Movement Alert｜Sands China Falls 3.06% in Regular Trading, Macau Gaming Sector Pressured by Analyst Downgrades and Capex Concerns

Market Focus06-15

On June 15, Sands China fell 3.06% in regular trading, trading at HK$14.25/share, with turnover of HK$130 million. The broader Casinos & Gaming sector declined in tandem, reflecting ongoing headwinds from analyst downgrades and rising capital expenditure concerns.

CLSA recently cut its target price on Sands China from HK$20 to HK$17.3, maintaining an outperform rating, citing the company's elevated capex guidance related to its Venetian Macao room renovation project, which is expected to compress margins in the short to medium term. The broker noted the Macau gaming industry is entering a slow lane, with revenue growth constrained by a high base and a lack of incremental drivers. Industry total capex is projected to surge from US$2.06 billion in 2025 to US$3.787 billion in 2026, pressuring sector-wide free cash flow. Additionally, CLSA flagged that the FIFA World Cup event running from June 11 to July 19 may divert tourist traffic and weigh on second-quarter EBITDA.

Within the Casinos & Gaming sector, Galaxy Entertainment fell 2.55%, SJM Holdings fell 2.30%, Melco International fell 2.89%, Wynn Macau fell 0.18%, while MGM China edged up 0.10%.
