LVS’ earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in one of the trailing four quarters, and missed on three occasions, the average surprise being 3%.
Trend in the Estimate Revision of LVS
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at 61 cents, indicating a rise of 38.6% from 44 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $3 billion. The metric suggests an increase of 12% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Let’s take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors Likely to Shape Las Vegas Sands’ Q3 Quarterly Results
Las Vegas Sands’ third-quarter 2025 performance is expected to have been fueled by strength at Marina Bay Sands and improving trends in Macau, supported by premium mass growth, strong travel demand and disciplined reinvestment.
At Marina Bay Sands, premium mass and non-rolling gaming volumes likely remained key growth engines, buoyed by a steady influx of affluent tourists and business travelers. The completion of the resort’s multi-year suite renovation program continues to elevate the property’s positioning in the ultra-luxury segment, likely supporting higher room rates and strong occupancy levels. Strategic execution around integrated entertainment offerings, enhanced food and beverage experiences, and convention-driven demand is expected to have bolstered both gaming and non-gaming revenues. Our model predicts third-quarter revenues from Marina Bay Sands to rise 38.7% year over year to $1.27 billion.
In Macau, Las Vegas Sands’ performance is likely to have benefited from a more aggressive customer reinvestment approach introduced in late April, aimed at reclaiming share in the premium mass and base mass segments. This and a full-quarter contribution from the Londoner Grand, operating all suites and gaming capacity, are expected to have accelerated property-level EBITDA and reinforced momentum toward the company’s $1 billion annualized EBITDA target for the Londoner portfolio.
Beyond gaming, diversification initiatives likely supported LVS’ performance in the third quarter. The company’s emphasis on entertainment-led attractions, luxury retail expansion and marquee events may have enhanced customer engagement and stabilized revenues. Macau’s expanding schedule of live shows and conventions likely contributed to consistent weekday occupancy and higher spending per visitor.
However, competitive reinvestment pressures in Macau, cost inflation in Singapore and weaker discretionary spending in China could have negatively impacted the bottom line in the third quarter. Our model predicts total operating expenses in the quarter to rise 9.4% year over year to $2.4 billion.
