Morgan Stanley analysts Thomas Allen and Praveen Choudhary lowered their expectations for Macau, stating they now expects gross gaming revenue to decline 3% in 2019 and grow 3% in 2020. The analysts previously forecast a 1% decline in GGR for 2019 and an 8% increase in 2020. Allen lowered his price target on Las Vegas Sands (LVS) to $66 from $68, cut his target on MGM Resorts (MGM) to $31 from $32 and reduced his Wynn Resorts (WYNN) target to $115 from $129, explaining that the Wynn cut is most pronounced since it is most exposed to Macau and to the weak high-end there. He maintains an Overweight rating on Las Vegas Sands, which he views as the most defensive and with potential Japan upside. Allen has Equal Weight ratings on MGM and Wynn shares.
