Based on industry checks, Macau's GGR for the first 25 days of May whopped MOP17.9 billion, implying average daily GGR of MOP716 million, JP Morgan said in its report. Average daily GGR last week sank about 5% WoW to MOP656 million, in line. The broker continued to forecast May GGR to grow 2-4% YoY, with growth in June and July expected to stabilize thereafter.Although Macau gaming stocks delivered better-than-expected results in 1Q, the sector has still seen a pullback. The broker believed that the entry threshold for buying gaming stocks is now very low, but the sector has yet to bottom out, as the market is pricing in a visible slowdown in GGR in the coming months in advance.Related News JPM: Macau May GGR Beats; Short-term Still in Growth Lull, GALAXY ENT (00027.HK) Top PickIn JP Morgan's view, investors need not rush to buy and a Neutral/ Selective stance was upheld on the sector.
