Analysts at JP Morgan still expect Macau’s January GGR to reach MOP17.5-18bn, despite a decrease from New Year holiday levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- JP Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific)<\/strong> has reported a 4.8 per cent moderation in daily gross gaming revenue (GGR) compared to the peak of MOP630m during the New Year holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this slight decline, analysts DS Kim<\/strong>, Mufan Shi<\/strong>, and Selina Li <\/strong>noted the city posted a daily GGR of MOP600m (US$74m) during the second week of the month and anticipated a monthly GGR of between MOP17.5bn and MOP18bn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts further stated that for the initial 14 days of January, Macau’s GGR reached an estimated MOP8.6bn, maintaining a “robust run rate” of MOP614m daily. This surpasses December’s daily GGR of MOP599m, which already exceeded market expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

December\u2019s GGR<\/a> was up 15.8 per cent month-on-month<\/a> from MOP16.04bn to MOP18.56bn (US$2.3bn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JP Morgan also underscored the resilience of mass-market GGR in January, running at “105 per cent to 110 per cent” of the equivalent 2019 period. VIP GGR, while exhibiting a “flattish month-on-month” trend, remains at approximately 20 per cent of pre-Covid-19 levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week ago, brokerage Citigroup<\/a> predicted Macau’s GGR would reach MOP$17.5bn (US$2.2bn) in January. Analysts highlighted that December 2023 exceeded expectations, recording a GGR of MOP18.56bn (US$2.3bn), showcasing a daily run-rate surpassing both market and broker projections by approximately 6 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In parallel, brokerage firm Morgan Stanley has predicted that Macau\u2019s ggr will rise 28 per cent year-on-year in 2024<\/a> and reach 80 per cent of pre-pandemic levels. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
