Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Wynn Resorts significantly reduces loss in 3Q24

Good morning.?All in for Wynn Resorts. In the group’s 3Q24 results, the company managed to significantly reduce its losses, despite relatively flat revenue from its Cotai Strip property in Macau. The peninsula fared slightly better, while US operations also were relatively lackluster. But the UAE shines bright, and the company aims to keep shareholders happy during the buildout to 2027. Meanwhile, Macau is heading to the races, but the Grand Prix is likely to limit punters’ enthusiasm, causing November GGR to fall – in line with expectations.
