Citi issued a research report noting that WYNN MACAU (01128.HK)  0.000 (0.000%)    Short selling $7.23M; Ratio 19.455%   revealed at its 1Q results briefing that the group maintained discipline in reinvestment for gaming players, lifting property EBITDA margin from 28% in 4Q last year to 28.2% in 1QYY. The bank also favored the newly announced capital expenditure project, "The Enclave", a new all-suite hotel property with 432 rooms located near the east entrance of Wynn Palace, with a capital expenditure budget of USD900 million to USD950 million. It believes the new hotel will help WYNN MACAU maintain long-term competitiveness. Management expects limited operational disruption during construction as the site is currently a bus entrance.

The project is scheduled to commence construction in 2H26 and will take approximately 2.5 years to complete. It will not include any gaming facilities. Management expects the project to generate additional EBITDA of USD150 million to USD175 million upon full operation, implying a mid-teens rate of return. Citi accordingly raised its TP for WYNN MACAU from HKD7.55 to HKD7.7 and maintained a Buy rating.
