Studio City International: The Underdog Of Macau's Casino Rally

Summary Studio City stock surged with Macau's recovery, but its high debt, unstable cash flow, and lack of profits make it a risky investment. Despite strong Macau tourism and GGR growth, Studio City lags peers due to single-property exposure and loss of high-roller focus to City of Dreams. All free cash flow is used for debt repayment, so shareholders shouldn't expect dividends or buybacks for the foreseeable future. I maintain a 'Hold' rating: Studio City is a high-beta Macau play, but better, more diversified options exist for exposure to the region's rebound. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Studio City International: Rolling The Dice In Macau's Jackpot Jungle

Summary Macau's gaming revenue reached $28.35 billion, 2.07x larger than Las Vegas, driven by high rollers from Mainland China, with Studio City offering family-friendly entertainment options. MSC faces profitability issues despite revenue growth; EBIT was $38.1 million, much lower than pre-pandemic margins, and net loss was $96.7 million. The casino's high leverage and competition in Macau, combined with slower-than-expected growth, pose significant risks; self-funding is crucial to avoid further dilution. Recommendation: 'Hold' on Studio City due to potential upside if pre-pandemic metrics return, but risks from Macau's market and economic slowdown make it a cautious investment.

Studio City International: A Pure Play On Macao's Reopening And Recovery

Summary Macao's casinos have finally reopened after almost 3 years of lockdown, benefiting Studio City International Holdings. Studio City International had to accumulate around $1 billion of extra debt to survive the last years, but the debt structure is cheap and clean. We expect strong revenue growth along with steady EBITDA margin improvements in the next years, which justify an upside potential of around 100% to $10.6 fair value per share.

Total operating revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were negative US$2.8 million, compared to total operating revenues of US$18.7 million in the third quarter of 2021 The change was primarily attributable to the government mandated temporary casino closures in Macau in July and heightened travel restrictions in Macau and mainland China related to COVID-19 during the quarter which led to a decrease in revenue from casino contract and lower non-gaming revenues.
