On July 3, Sands China rose 3.13% in regular trading, reaching HK$13.52 per share, with turnover of HK$48.9975 million. The broader Casinos & Gaming sector traded higher, with the stock rebounding alongside peers following a period of selling pressure tied to weak June gaming revenue data.
On the news front, Goldman Sachs issued a research report stating that Macau's June gross gaming revenue of MOP 18.5 billion, down 12% year-over-year, was in line with market expectations at the lower end, reaching 78% of pre-pandemic 2019 levels. The bank maintained its Buy rating on Sands China with a target price of HK$23.2, representing significant upside from current levels. Goldman believes that once the high-base effect and World Cup diversion factors dissipate, Macau's gaming performance will improve. UBS separately noted that June GGR was broadly in line with already-lowered market consensus, with July daily GGR expected to recover approximately 9% month-over-month.
Within the Casinos & Gaming sector, SJM Holdings up 5.48%, Melco International up 5.10%, MGM China up 3.35%, Wynn Macau up 2.0%, Galaxy Entertainment up 1.76%.
