Melco Resorts (MLCO) to Post Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (MLCO - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2020 results on May 14. In the last-reported quarter, the company reported a negative earnings surprise of 42.2%.
How Are Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter loss is pegged at 59 cents, indicating deterioration from earnings of 28 cents in the year-ago quarter. For quarterly revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $631.6 million, suggesting a decline of 53.6% from the year-earlier figure.
Let's take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Melco Resorts Entertainment Limited Price and EPS Surprise
The coronavirus pandemic is expected to have materially affected Melco Resorts’ performance in the first quarter. Temporary shutdown of casino operations is likely to get reflected on top-line results. Also, soft performance of the rolling chip and mass market table games segments is expected to show on results.
Rise in construction and investment-related costs is likely to have weighed on margins in the quarter. Cash burn due to the closure of properties is likely to have affected the bottom line.
Nonetheless, constant upgrade of mass gaming segments along with expansion initiatives is likely to have boosted the top line in the first quarter. Moreover, a geographically-diversified regional gaming platform is expected to have contributed.
What the Zacks Model Unveils
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Melco Resorts 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 estimates. That is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: Melco Resorts has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
