Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) price target lowered from $144 to $139.
Analyst, Harry Curtis, said, "The reported EBITDA of $402m benefited from high hold. We had previewed the ~$18m of high VIP hold benefit at Wynn Macau but mass hold surprised on the upside (30.4% vs. trailing ~28%), which benefited reported EBITDA by another ~$8m. Las Vegas property EBITDA was below our estimate by ~$10m due to lower gaming volume and lower RevPAR (2.9% vs. our 14%). The RevPAR miss was primarily from lower occupancy, as ADR was +6.5% vs. our +10%. Our 2012E EPS goes from $6.19 to $5.80 and 2013E from $7.36 to $6.87. Due to our lower EBITDA forecasts in Las Vegas & Macau, our PT is now $139. No change to our multiples. Our $139 PT still represents ~18% potential upside to yesterday’s aftermarket trading price of ~$117. We continue to recommend shares."
