The company entered the quarter with healthy forward bookings and robust gaming volumes, reflecting sustained momentum in its premium customer base.Elevated casino drop and handle, solid weekend performance, and steady group and convention bookings are likely to have aided the company’s Las Vegas performance in the third quarter. Ongoing programming enhancements and operational efficiency likely drove incremental spend across gaming, food and beverage, and retail channels. Our model predicts revenues from Las Vegas operations to rise 1.3% year over year to $615.2 million in the third quarter.In Macau, WYNN’s third-quarter results are expected to reflect sequential improvement in mass and VIP volumes, building on the acceleration seen in June and July. The company’s premium-focused strategy — supported by ongoing investments such as the Chairman’s Club expansion at Wynn Palace and room refreshes at Wynn Macau — likely reinforced customer engagement and strengthened its positioning in the market. Moreover, steady entertainment-driven demand and disciplined reinvestment levels may have contributed to healthy visitation and improved operating leverage. Our model predicts third-quarter revenues from total Macau operations to be $877.6 million.Encore Boston Harbor likely delivered stable performance, supported by consistent table and slot activity and prudent cost management. The property’s ability to offset wage inflation through operational discipline and efficiency initiatives is expected to have aided margin stability during the quarter. Our model predicts the segment’s third-quarter revenues to rise 5.2% year over year to $225.3 million.However, several factors may have tempered profitability in the third quarter. Softer midweek trends in Las Vegas, higher labor and cost-of-living expenses across markets and increased reinvestment competition in Macau likely weighed on margins. In addition, renovation-related spending tied to upcoming projects and construction progress at Wynn Al Marjan Island may have added near-term cost pressure. Our model predicts third-quarter total operating expenses to rise 2.7% year over year to $1.6 billion.What Our Model Says About WYNN StockOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Wynn Resorts this time.
