Place Your Bets On Wynn Resorts Stock For Near Term Gains

Recently, Macau’s gaming regulator published a five-year development plan for the city, highlighting key aspects regarding sustainable growth, regulatory oversight, and casino license renewal. Notably, all casino stocks including Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) observed a contraction over concerns of regulatory pressure hampering operations and shareholder returns. The plan proposes a requirement of government approval to pay dividends. While the new proposal is available for public consultation until October 29, its merits include the promotion of mass-market gaming that has a significantly higher casino win rate and contributed 40% of Macau’s gross gaming revenues in 2019. Interestingly, Wynn stock reached pre-Covid levels in March 2021, assisted by the popularity of its sports betting application WynnBet. The stock rallied from $100 in June 2020 to $131 in March 2021. Thus, the recent sell-off may be a good buying opportunity to realize gains associated with the public listing of Wynn Resorts’ digital gaming division in the near future.
