Factors Setting the Tone for Las Vegas Sands (LVS) Q2 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2022 results on Jul 20, after the closing bell. In the previous quarter, the company reported a negative earnings surprise of 66.7%.
How Are Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of 23 cents per share, indicating an improvement of 11.5% from a loss of 26 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $954.6 million. The metric suggests a deterioration of 18.6% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Let's look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors at Play
Las Vegas Sands’ second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its extensive non-gaming revenue opportunities, planned investment in new projects (in the United States and Asia) and digital efforts. This and increased visitation owing to the establishment of travel corridors (in Singapore) and resilient customer demand and spending in gaming and retail (in Macao) are likely to have made way for recovery in the to-be-reported quarter.
Strong contributions from Marine Bay Sands and the Four Seasons Hotel Macao segment might have aided the company’s second-quarter top line. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net revenues at Marine Bay Sands and Four Seasons Hotel Macao is pegged at $484 million and $126 million, suggesting growth of 48% and 0.8%, respectively, from the prior-year quarter’s figures.
However, tighter travel restrictions, quarantine policies and suspension of ferry operations (between Macao and Hong Kong) are likely to have affected the company’s operations in the second quarter. Although sequential improvements in terms of visitation are likely, it is still expected to remain below pre-pandemic levels. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net revenues at Sand Cotai Central and Parisian Macao is pegged at $183 million and $79 million, suggesting a 3.2% and 21.8% decline, respectively, from the prior-year quarter’s figures. Net revenues at Venetian Macao are pegged at $317 million, indicating a decline of 18.9% from the prior-year quarter’s levels.
