Dow Jones10-25

0724 GMT - Sands China's shares appear slightly undervalued, says Morningstar's Jennifer Song. The Macau casino operator's 3Q performance was slightly ahead of both Morningstar's and market expectations. The company has indicated a possible dividend in 2025 that will be viewed positively by shareholders, Song says. As of end-September, Sands China had total cash of US$1.9 billion, up from US$1.1 billion a year ago, Song adds. Improving balance sheet strength means Sands China could begin paying a final dividend of HK$0.50 a share in 2024, the senior equity analyst says. Morningstar maintains the stock's fair value estimate of HK$26.50. Shares are last up 2.8% at HK$19.92. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
