Price Performance

Shares of Wynn Resorts have fallen 18.2% so far this year against the industry’s 0.5% growth. The dismal performance was primarily caused by the coronavirus pandemic. During the second quarter, the company’s operations were negatively impacted by the outbreak in Guangdong. Although the virus was stamped out within a couple of weeks, volumes were greatly suppressed during the period. Moreover, traffic was down in August due to the coronavirus-related alert. The spread of the Delta variant is another concern. Although visitation is likely to improve in the coming months, it is expected to take time to attain the pre-pandemic levels. Considering the uncertainties related to the crisis, the company expects the pandemic to continue affecting its operations for some time. Earnings estimates for 2021 have remained unchanged in the past 30 days, limiting the upside potential of the stock.
Some better-ranked stocks in the same space include Boyd Gaming Corporation (BYD - Free Report) , Golden Entertainment, Inc. (GDEN - Free Report) and Monarch Casino & Resort, Inc. (MCRI - Free Report) . Boyd Gaming and Golden Entertainment sport a Zacks Rank #1, while Monarch Casino carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Boyd Gaming has a three-five year earnings per share growth rate of 40.8%.
Golden Entertainment’s 2021 earnings are expected to surge 226.4%.
Monarch Casino has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 53.3%, on average.
