RISKY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Consider Wynn Resorts. Year-to-date, WYNN stock has outpaced competitors with its shares breaking even in 2022 through early December while MGM stock has sunk 15% and Caesars 46%. Pretty good, right? However, in early November WYNN stock reported a Q3 revenue loss of $1.20 which was much higher than the street’s $1.03 prediction. Why? That Q3 included a two-week closure of their Macau casinos because of an increase in Covid cases. The company’s Las Vegas and Boston operations helped cushion the turbulence, but the coming winter (a period when Covid cases typically rise) looks uncertain. Read Between Safety and Risk: 3 Safe and Gambling Stocks for our full analysis.

BUY

Look at the recovery in Las Vegas. Okay, maybe a recession is coming, but the Wynn CEO is ready for one (though doesn't see one on the horizon). Last month, a big private investor took a big stake in Wynn (a good sign). Macro tailwinds: China will reopen.

BUY

They are outperforming markets--look at the one- and three-month charts. Las Vegas is killing it and that's where Wynn's value lies.

DON'T BUY

He is also worried about their operations in Macau. It's too early to buy Wynn. He regrets recommending this earlier. He didn't expect the Chinese government to mismanage their handling of Covid cases there.

BUY

He's still holding this at a loss. In terms of problem, it's been one thing or another, like Macau or recession talk (in the future). The canary in the coal mine are casino stocks. He believes inflation has peaked, though, so casinos could rip. He's bullish Wynn and casinos.

DON'T BUY

The issue all along has been Macau. Las Vegas is operating fine with Covid under control. But China has a zero tolerance policy towards Covid and this will make Macau uncertain. When will Macau really reopen and generate real revenues? He used to own this, but hesitates now.

BUY

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.

DON'T BUY

It's dead money, but he didn't foresee Omicron and beiking cracking down on Macau casinos. He beats himself up on owning this. He hopes someone takes this company out, which would be its only salvation.

COMMENT

Among the biggest losers on the S&P in 2021 #8, down 25%. Like Las Vegas Sands. He's been wrong owning this. The Chinese government has made life difficult for Wynne. Its asset value is well above its stock price. This could be stuck in a rut--but worth the wait after Covid. Maybe.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A hated stock. Shares have been cut almost in half and will likely go lower. But it's oversold. Also, he thinks this will be acquired by an MGM or Las Vegas Sands. Hammered this week by the Omicron scare, but it's time to nibble. Buy on the way down, not up, and we buy long term. Don't chase, but invest. And expect this stock to fall a little more before it rises--you gotta start somewhere.

BUY

It got hit by the Covid variant and the Chinese government crackdown in Macau where WYNN has a lot of its operations. The valuation is so low now, so it's a bargain now. WYNN owns the most popular casino in Macau. You can buy some now and more when Omicron hits the U.S.

DON'T BUY

It reports Tuesday. It's a long-haul play, not short. Once gambling returns to Macau, then this stock soar. Until then--PAIN.

COMMENT

They report Wednesday. Wynn has serious operations in Macau, which has been under attack by China's government though China has become friendlier to American businesses lately. He won't know when things will lighten up there, but he's willing to wait. Their report could be bullish.

BUY

He added to this on the way down over a month ago, around $80. He has enough now. This is such a cheap call option on China, about 10% of their enterprise value. Rather, the value is in the U.S. operations which is doing gangbusters. Las Vegas room rates are 65% higher than in 2019. Shares are popping 5% today on news that Jim Cramer has bought shares.

BUY

They reported a good quarter on Monday, but also announced a spin-off of Wynn Interactive, their online sports betting business, to merge with SPAC Austerlitz Acquisition. This is one of the few quality SPACs, and this is a savvy move into online sports betting though there is a lot of competition in states that have legalized it. This won't dilute WYNN, but will benefit it.
