Wynn Resorts Stock Price Target Cut (NASDAQ: WYNN) But Analyst Remains Bullish

Wynn Resorts stock price (NMS: WYNN) has fallen 19.39% through 2024, sitting at $76.26 and losing a little more in the pre-market as analysts adjust to the current financials. Recently hitting the wires is a reduction in the company's stock price target by Stifel from $121 to $103. The analyst firm continues to rate the shares as a Buy.

Faced with an investment community wary of Macau-centric and China-related stocks, Stifel argues that the current share price undervalues the Macau assets and UAE project. With its price target cut, Stifel still advocates this as an opportune time for investors to consider accumulating WYNN shares, finding the valuation too pessimistic and almost attributing “zero value” to these assets, which the firm regards as an exaggerated downturn.

Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, Wynn Resorts operates as a premium player in the Resorts & Casinos industry within the Consumer Cyclical sector. Wynn's business model spans across several segments including Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor. With a diversified portfolio in luxurious hotel accommodations, retail and food outlets, and convention spaces, Wynn Resorts remains a prominent name in integrated resorts development.

Financially, Wynn Resorts boasts a market capitalization of $8.464 billion and has exhibited a 52-week trading window between $71.63 and $110.38. With an opening stock price of $76.23, the day saw a high of $76.52 and a low of $74.895. The company's performance showed resilience with a trailing P/E ratio of 9.83 and a forward P/E of 13.92. Importantly, the firm's revenue stands at over $7 billion, highlighting a strong inflow despite the global challenges faced by the industry.

Institutional holdings signal confidence in Wynn, with insiders owning 15.406% and institutions holding 62.21%. The stock still receives a general Buy rating within the analyst community, with 15 analysts providing a mean target price of $113.73, indicating a potential upside from current levels.

Though the controversial Macau gaming market pressures Wynn's share performance, Stifel's analysis suggests significant growth potential and a eventually positive re-evaluation once market conditions stabilize.

The updated price target for Wynn Resorts by Stifel amidst Macau's market turbulence reflects the belief in the inherent value of Wynn's diverse assets and a confident stance on the company's long-term growth trajectory. Whilst the target has in itself been trimmed, the firm remain bullish on WYNN's stock by virtue of the buy rating and target some 35% to the upside.
