Analysis · WYNN · Real Estate & Construction
A standout quarter saw net income more than double to $140.1 million, or $1.32 per share, on revenue of $1.86 billion. Macau was the engine—Wynn Palace revenue climbed 21% and its Adjusted Property EBITDAR jumped 28%—while Las Vegas held steady. Crucially, the UAE expansion gained a concrete timeline: Wynn Al Marjan Island is now set to open in September 2027, turning a long-term growth story into a near-term catalyst. Management underscored its confidence in the cash flow trajectory with a $0.25 dividend and $75 million in buybacks. The only blemish was a 12% EBITDAR decline at Encore Boston Harbor, though the property remains profitable. With $1.57 billion in cash and ample revolver capacity, the balance sheet comfortably supports both the UAE build-out and shareholder returns.
