The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues stands at $460.1 million, indicating a decline of 72.1% from the year-ago reported figure.

Factors to Note

Wynn Resorts third-quarter results are likely to reflect the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on its operations. Although the company has resumed operations, dismal visitation due to the pandemic might have negatively impacted the company’s performance in the quarter to be reported. Moreover, limited numbers of tables have been hurting the company.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues from Wynn Macau operations is pegged at $118 million, suggesting a sharp decline of 75.1% from the year-ago reported figure. Wynn Palace operations might have weighed on the third-quarter performance. The consensus mark for revenues from Wynn Palace stands at $147 million, indicating a decline of 75.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Dismal performance at Encore Boston Harbor, Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Las Vegas operations and Encore Boston Harbor may have significantly affected the third-quarter performance. Moreover, cash burn owing to the coronavirus is likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s results.
