Citigroup has cut its target price for casino operator Genting Singapore (GENS.SI) to $2.60 from $2.75 and kept its buy rating.
Las Vegas Sands (LVS.N), which reported quarterly earnings on Thursday, said rolling chip volume, or business from VIP tables, at its Singapore casino fell 21% compared with the previous quarter, which was worse-than-expected, Citi said. “We believe we could see some ripple effect as the market could become worried about a possible volume decline at Resorts World Sentosa,” said Citi in a report.
The brokerage has lowered its revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) forecast for Genting Singapore in the fourth quarter by 7%.
At 11:25 a.m., shares of Genting Singapore were 2.4% down at $2.08, and have fallen 5% so far this year.
