Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Expectations By $0.19 EPS

Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN) posted its earnings results on Thursday. The casino operator reported $0.33 earnings per share for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.52 by ($0.19), Zacks reports. The business had revenue of $1.69 billion during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $1.75 billion. Wynn Resorts had a negative return on equity of 46.52% and a net margin of 6.05%.

Here are the key takeaways from Wynn Resorts’ conference call:

• Wynn Las Vegas reported $158.8 million in adjusted property EBITDA, with unfavorable gaming hold reducing results by nearly $24 million and summer softness weighing on the quarter. RevPAR and ADR were each up 3%, while retail lease revenue rose 8%, suggesting demand remained resilient.
• Management said October was strong in Las Vegas and the fourth quarter is benefiting from F1, conventions, and the NFL season; F1 is pacing ahead of last year in rate and occupancy. Group and convention bookings for 2027 are also ahead of the pace for 2025 and 2026 at this point.
• Macau generated $255.3 million in adjusted property EBITDA, including a roughly $12.3 million benefit from above-theoretical VIP hold, but September was soft and volumes declined late in October. Wynn has started construction on the Enclave, theater, and event center, with openings planned for 2028 and early 2029.
• Wynn Al Marjan Island remains on schedule to open in September 2027, but the project budget was raised by $600 million and Wynn estimates its remaining equity requirement, including Janu, at $465 million to $590 million. Management said costs are substantially locked in while noting continued uncertainty from the regional conflict.
• The company reported $4 billion in global cash and revolver availability and continued shareholder returns, including $58.1 million in quarterly share repurchases and a $0.25-per-share dividend. Wynn Macau also approved a $150 million 2026 interim dividend, up from $125 million the prior year.
