Seaport thinks the city\u2019s casino operators are currently undervalued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- Seaport Research has released a new report predicting that Macau gaming revenue will be up 19 per cent year-on-year to MOP21.73bn (US$2.71bn) in January 2026. Senior analyst Vitaly Umansky noted that daily revenue was over MOP850m (US$106m) during the January 1-4 holiday weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, revenue growth slowed due to high-rollers postponing their visits to the first quarter, but Seaport estimates that Macau GGR will be up 14 per cent year-on-year in Q1 2026, with the Chinese New Year holiday from Feb 16 to 22 expected to boost visitation. For the full year, Seaport predicts 7 per cent growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Umansky said: “Macau remains a secular growth market, driven by an increasing wealth effect in China with high propensity to gamble and increasing travel spend.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report highlights the premium segment asa key growth driver, but also anticipates a pick-up in overnight mass benefiting operators with more room capacity like Sands China and Galaxy Entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While geopolitical concerns have caused stock price fluctuations, Seaport thinks operators are currently undervalued.<\/p>\n\n\n
