Galaxy Entertainment Group Q1 Earnings Rise With Expanded Non-Gaming Events And Dividend Plans Galaxy Entertainment Group reported Q1 2026 net revenue that was 11% higher year on year, with Group Normalised EBITDA up 21% to $3.6b.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was 80% higher year on year, while quarter-on-quarter performance was described as stable after adjusting for luck and competitive pressures.
The company highlighted minimal debt, large cash reserves and continued expansion of non-gaming activities, including over 80 concerts and major sports events, and proposed a final dividend of $0.80 per share payable in June 2026.
The mix of higher year-on-year earnings and a strong balance sheet points to a business that currently has scope to keep investing in its premium customers and non-gaming projects while still returning cash to shareholders.
The growing line-up of MICE, entertainment and sports events may gradually increase the importance of non-gaming revenue, but it also exposes the company to execution risk if these new ventures do not attract the expected demand. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • May 08

New Risk • Aug 16
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: HK$7.9m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Aug 08
