Stockchase Opinions

Stephanie Link, Chief investment strategist, Hightower Wynne Resorts Ltd. WYNN-Q BUY Feb 18, 2022

It will be choppy trading for another month for sure as we digest inflation, including services inflation--inflation is broadening out into other categories. Not enough attention is being paid to retail sales--which are up--and homes sales are also up nicely. We have to wait--nobody knows where inflation is going. She's a long-term investor. Companies that performed best during earnings season are the ones she likes: Expedia, Wynn, Hilton. Would consider AmEx, Coke, McDonald's--if you get them on sale, you can leg into them and see how it goes.

BUY

Their Macau and Las Vegas operations are killing it.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Took profits, up 60%. Simply profit-taking. The company is doing a great job. Covid in China is worry, so she's being cautious. She may buy this again.

STRONG BUY

Their quarter 2 weeks ago was unbelievable! And yet, shares went down after that.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Down 14% this month, because of concerns over China. Remember, there was very little activity in Macau because of Covid, so things can't get worse than that. Sure, China's general economic weakness could have an effect on Wynn Macau. Numbers show that Macau is bouncing back. WYNN just reported a revenue beat and huge earnings beat.

BUY

Is undervalued and so it Caesars. He's frustrated with this space, because Las Vegas has been going gangbusters where convention attendance is way up over the past year. These stocks haven't gotten credit for their performance.

BUY

May's data is up across the board: revenue per room is up 11% YOY, convention attendance 2%, hotel occupancy 2%, plus Wynn buys back shares. He expects these good numbers to continue. Also, they're investing in Dubai which will eventually increase revenues. Be patient.

BUY

Vegas tourism is white hot. Revenue per room was up 11% in May YOY, convention attendance up 2%, and visitors up 5%. MGM has over half its business from Vegas. But he doesn't like MGM's regional business and those patrons are struggling from higher inflation and interest rates. He Likes MGM, but prefers Wynne because it has more Vegas exposure. But Vegas' boom isn't pushing up Vegas stocks, which is frustrating. Frankly, the market is getting it wrong. When Wynne reports, their strong Macau business will shine.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They have a new UAE project. Their last report was shockingly good, with $1.84 billion in revenues in Q4 2024, but shares have pulled back with the market over fears about the consumer.

BUY

Their international expansion makes them a growth stock.

BUY

Has fantastic assets, though has seen weakness in Macau but will change if Beijing does Western-style stimulus to the consumer.
