Melco Resorts: Q1 2026 Earnings Confirms Our Bullish Case

Summary Melco Resorts & Entertainment maintains cost discipline and premium positioning, driving resilient margins amid intense Macau competition. MLCO's 1Q26 adjusted property EBITDA margins rose to 27.4%, with 16% YoY EBITDA growth in Macau, supporting a 5% share price pop post-earnings.
