Competitor Las Vegas Sands Inc. (NYSE: LVS) boosted its dividend by 40%, to $0.35 a share last night to help ease the pain of lighter earnings than analysts had been expecting. Wynn announced this increase last year. Las Vegas Sands got a share price boost of more than 7% today, but so far Wynn is not following suit in after-hours trading.
Wynn’s revenues fell nearly 10% in Macau, with the biggest drop coming from its VIP (high-roller) segment. Las Vegas revenues rose more than 12%, but Las Vegas revenues account for just 43% of the company’s total.
Wynn did not offer guidance in its earnings release, but the consensus estimate for the first quarter calls for EPS of $1.55 on revenues of $1.38 billion. For the full year the consensus estimate calls for EPS of $6.07 on revenues of $5.39 billion.
Shares are trading down about 1.2% at $123.75 in after-hours trading today, in a 52-week range of $90.11 to $138.28. Thomson Reuters had a consensus analyst price target of around $133.90 before today’s report.
