Wells Fargo maintains a 'Market Perform' on Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) price target range $35-$47 (from $52-$61)
Analyst, Cameron McKnight, said, "We are decreasing our estimates and valuation range on slowing Macau growth, a deteriorating Chinese macro environment, a disappointing ramp at Cotai Central, and increased Singapore regulation. We recently reduced our H2 2012 Macau gaming market forecast below consensus to 4-10% yr/yr growth. We are decreasing our 2012/13 EPS estimates by 8%/15% to $2.49/$2.50 from $2.71/2.94. While Street expectations have moderated recently, we believe further cuts to estimates will likely follow and weigh on the stock. In particular, we believe below consensus same-store Q2 EBITDA in Macau could stoke investor fears of cannibalization."
