Factors Setting the Tone for Las Vegas Sands (LVS) Q3 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2021 results on Oct 20, after the closing bell. In the previous quarter, the company reported a negative earnings surprise of 36.8%.
How are Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of 21 cents per share, indicating an improvement of 68.7% from a loss of 67 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $1,310 million. The metric suggests an increase of 123.5% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Let's take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors at Play
Las Vegas Sands’ third-quarter performance is likely to have benefitted from sequential improvements in visitation. This along with emphasis on its business model, extensive non-gaming revenue opportunities and planned investment in new projects (in Macao) are likely to have driven the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Increase in revenues at Las Vegas operations, Sand Cotai Central and Parisian Macao might have contributed to the company’s third-quarter performance. For Las Vegas operations, the consensus mark for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $153 million, suggesting an improvement of 0.7% from the year-ago quarter’s levels. Net revenues at Sand Cotai Central and Parisian Macao are pegged at $238 million and $114 million, suggesting growth of 981.8% and 185%, respectively, from the prior-year quarter’s figures. Its Marine Bay Sands segment might have witnessed revenue gain as well. For this segment, the consensus mark stands at $330 million, indicating an improvement of 17.4% from the prior-year quarter’s tally.
Net revenues at Four Seasons Hotel Macao and Venetian Macao are pegged at $134 million and $425 million, suggesting growth of 436% and 525%, respectively, from the prior-year quarter’s levels.
However, pandemic-related closures and dismal air traffic in Singapore are expected to have dented the company’s third-quarter performance. Although sequential improvements in terms of visitation are likely, it is still expected to remain below pre-pandemic levels. Moreover, the adoption of non-tolerance policy toward COVID (in China) might have influenced the pace of recovery in the to-be-reported quarter.

Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Las Vegas Sands this time around. A stock needs to have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) to beat earnings. But that's not the case here.
