Robinhood shares gain on Q2 beat, as user and crypto growth accelerate
On Wednesday, Citi analyst George Choi increased the price target on Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN) to $101.00, up from the previous $97.00, while reiterating a Buy rating on the stock. Currently trading at $83.52, Wynn maintains a strong "Buy" consensus among analysts, with targets ranging from $83 to $132. According to InvestingPro data, the company shows several positive indicators, including strong profitability and robust financial health. Choi’s statement highlighted Wynn Las Vegas’s performance, noting that the 1Q25 EBITDA only experienced an $11 million year-over-year decline when adjusted for hold rates. This is despite facing a roughly $25 million challenge due to the Super Bowl, suggesting robust business volumes for the quarter. In fact, casino revenues saw a 4% year-over-year increase in the first quarter of 2025. The company’s overall financial performance remains strong, with trailing twelve-month EBITDA of $1.8 billion and a healthy gross profit margin of 43.5%.
Wynn Resorts’ resilience appears to have persisted into April, with high-end play compensating for weaker international play. The company reported year-over-year increases in both Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) and slot handle for April, while group bookings met expectations. Gaming demand in Boston remained healthy, with volumes in April similar to the previous year.
The analyst also mentioned that uncertainties surrounding tariffs have caused a delay in approximately $375 million in capital expenditures at Wynn Las Vegas, most of which are related to the remodeling of the Encore Tower. However, management anticipates that this will have a minimal impact on operational expenses.
Choi concluded by affirming the Buy rating and raising the price target for Wynn Resorts. The adjustment reflects the latest operational trends and an increased price target for Wynn Macau (OTC:WYNMF), which Choi raised from HK$5.55 to HK$6.25 based on higher margin assumptions. InvestingPro analysis suggests Wynn Resorts is currently undervalued, with additional metrics and insights available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report, which covers over 1,400 US stocks with detailed analysis and actionable intelligence.
