Wynn Resorts (WYNN - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 4, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis casino operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.01 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -7.3%.
Revenues are expected to be $1.84 billion, up 5.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.24% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Wynn?For Wynn, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.49%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #5.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Wynn will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Wynn would post earnings of $1.18 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.25, delivering a surprise of +5.93%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Wynn doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAnother stock from the Zacks Gaming industry, Roblox (RBLX - Free Report) , is soon expected to post loss of $0.33 per share for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +19.5%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $1.59 billion, up 10.6% from the year-ago quarter.
Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Roblox has been revised 4.3% up to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of +1.28%, reflecting a higher Most Accurate Estimate.
This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Roblox will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Casino stock Wynn Resorts Ltd (NASDAQ:WYNN) is down 13.4% since the start of the year, recently running into resistance at the $110 region. A bounce off a historically bullish trendline may be enough to break past that ceiling, however.
According to Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, WYNN is trading within 3% of its 24-month moving average after spending the previous five months above that trendline. This setup has appeared four times during the last 20 years, after which the stock was higher one month later 75% of the time, averaging a 2.08% gain, and higher three months later 100% of the time, averaging an impressive 7.55% return. From the stock's current perch at $104.25, a move of 7.55% would place it at $112.12.
Short covering could give the stock a lift as well, as 11.3% of WYNN's available float is sold short. It would take shorts over five days to buy back these bearish bets, at the equity's average pace of trading.
Options are looking affordable for Wynn Resorts stock, too. Specifically, its Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 36% which ranks in the 30th annual percentile.

LAS VEGAS, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq: WYNN), a global leader in luxury hospitality, today announced the release of its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report and Executive Overview, detailing the Company's environmental sustainability, workforce development and community impact initiatives across its North American operations. The Wynn Resorts ESG Report 2025 highlights continued investment in employee development, measurable improvements in environmental performance and record-setting philanthropic contributions.
Wynn Resorts (WYNN - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 7, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis casino operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.18 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +10.3%.
Revenues are expected to be $1.8 billion, up 5.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.9% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Wynn?For Wynn, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +4.51%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Wynn will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Wynn would post earnings of $1.33 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.17, delivering a surprise of -12.03%.
The company has not been able to beat consensus EPS estimates in any of the last four quarters.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Wynn appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
An Industry Player's Expected ResultsFlutter Entertainment (FLUT - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Gaming industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $1.15 for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of -27.7%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $4.28 billion, up 16.7% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for Flutter has been revised 33.9% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, an equal Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Flutter will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

Key Takeaways Wynn Resorts will report Q1 2026 earnings on May 7 after missing estimates in the past four quarters.WYNN's growth is driven by strong Las Vegas demand and rising Macau VIP and mass-market volumes.Revenue gains and cost controls support margins, despite higher expenses and gaming hold variability. Wynn Resorts, Limited (WYNN - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2026 results on May 7, after the closing bell.
WYNN’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being negative13.7%.
Trend in the Estimate Revision of WYNNThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for adjusted earnings per share (EPS) has increased to $1.18 from $1.17 over the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a 10.3% gain from the year-ago EPS of $1.07.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $1.80 billion, implying a rise of 5.9% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
Let's look at how things might have shaped up in the quarter.
Factors Likely to Shape Wynn Resorts’ Q1 ResultsWynn Resorts’ top-line performance in early 2026 is likely to have been supported by sustained strength across its core operating markets, particularly Las Vegas and Macau. In Las Vegas, demand trends remained healthy, with growth in key metrics such as casino volumes, table drop, slot handle and average daily room rates. The company’s strategy of prioritizing higher room rates over occupancy, combined with strong group and convention bookings, helped optimize revenue per available room and overall property monetization.
Additionally, increased spend across gaming, food and beverage, and luxury offerings, driven by affluent customers, contributed meaningfully to revenue growth. The company has also benefited from improved customer targeting, loyalty initiatives and enhanced hosting strategies, which boosted wallet share from high-value guests.
In Macau, robust volume growth was a key revenue driver despite unfavorable hold conditions. VIP turnover surged significantly, while mass-market turnover also increased, reflecting strong demand, particularly in premium segments where Wynn has a competitive edge. This momentum extended into the first quarter, with volumes in early 2026 holding at or above prior-quarter levels. Continued recovery in travel demand, rising premium-customer activity and strategic investments, such as the expansion of high-end gaming and hospitality spaces like the Chairman’s Club, are likely to have further supported top-line expansion. Additionally, steady performance in Encore Boston Harbor, with rising slot revenues and improved visitation trends, added another layer of revenue stability.
Our model predicts revenues from Las Vegas and Macau operations to rise 5.9% and 3.8% year over year to $662.4 million and $898.9 million, respectively, in the first quarter. We expect the Encore Boston Harbor segment’s first-quarter revenues to decline 1% year over year to $207.2 million.
On the bottom line, earnings are likely to have been supported by disciplined cost controls and operating efficiencies across properties. Wynn maintained tight expense management despite inflationary pressures, using targeted cost optimization that did not compromise guest experience. Strong operating leverage from higher volumes, especially in gaming, helped absorb fixed costs, while premium pricing strategies in Las Vegas boosted margins.
Furthermore, the company’s focus on high-value customers and data-driven reinvestment strategies has improved revenue quality and profitability. However, margins are likely to have been partially influenced by factors like gaming hold variability and incremental operating costs tied to higher business volumes, though underlying profitability remained resilient.
Our model predicts first-quarter total operating expenses to rise 6.6% year over year to $1.52 billion.
What Our Model Says About WYNN StockOur proven model predicts an earnings beat for Wynn Resorts this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is exactly the case here.

Forward-looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements regarding operating trends and future results of operations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those we express in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, reductions in discretionary consumer spending, adverse macroeconomic conditions and their impact on levels of disposable consumer income and wealth, changes in interest rates, inflation, a decline in general economic activity or recession in the U.S. and/or global economies, extensive regulation of our business, pending or future legal proceedings, ability to maintain gaming licenses and concessions, dependence on key employees, geopolitical conflicts, adverse tourism trends, travel disruptions caused by events outside of our control, dependence on a limited number of resorts, competition in the casino/hotel and resort industries, uncertainties over the development and success of new gaming and resort properties, construction and regulatory risks associated with current and future projects (including Wynn Al Marjan Island), cybersecurity risk and our leverage and ability to meet our debt service obligations. Additional information concerning potential factors that could affect the Company's financial results is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as supplemented by the Company's other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. The Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or revise its forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(1) "Adjusted Property EBITDAR" is net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other expenses, triple-net operating lease rent expense related to Encore Boston Harbor, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other expenses (including intercompany golf course, meeting and convention, and water rights leases), stock-based compensation, change in derivatives fair value, and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDAR is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDAR as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. We also present Adjusted Property EBITDAR because it is used by some investors to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDAR as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their EBITDAR calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDAR should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, Adjusted Property EBITDAR does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, triple-net operating lease rent expense related to Encore Boston Harbor, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDAR. Also, our calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDAR may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
(2) "Adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited" is net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited before pre-opening expenses, property charges and other expenses, change in derivatives fair value, foreign currency remeasurement and other, and income taxes calculated using the specific tax treatment applicable to the adjustments based on their respective jurisdictions. Adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited and adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited per diluted share are presented as supplemental disclosures to financial measures in accordance with GAAP because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are widely used to measure the performance, and as a principal basis for valuation, of gaming companies. These measures are used by management and/or evaluated by some investors, in addition to net income per share computed in accordance with GAAP, as an additional basis for assessing period-to-period results of our business. Adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited and adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited per diluted share may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
The Company has included schedules in the tables that accompany this release that reconcile (i) net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited to adjusted net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited, (ii) operating income (loss) to Adjusted Property EBITDAR, and (iii) net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited to Adjusted Property EBITDAR.

Wynn Resorts (WYNN - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.25 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.18 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.07 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +6.21%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this casino operator would post earnings of $1.33 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.17, delivering a surprise of -12.03%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Wynn, which belongs to the Zacks Gaming industry, posted revenues of $1.86 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.21%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.7 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Wynn shares have lost about 10.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.6%.
What's Next for Wynn?While Wynn has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Wynn was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.25 on $1.81 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.93 on $7.45 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Gaming is currently in the top 41% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Shares of Wynn have returned +2.2% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +11.4% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating that it could perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
Wynn Resorts delivered solid 1Q26 top-line and EBITDAR growth in Las Vegas and Macau, but margin pressure persists amid heightened Macau competition. Margins declined year-over-year across all properties, with Macau EBITDAR margins falling 90 bps and overall group margins down 100 bps to 30.3%. Intense promotional activity and new premium supply in Macau are expected to constrain margin upside and limit near-term share price catalysts.

The founder of Authentic Brands Group, the management firm behind dozens of retail and media names including Reebok, Champion and Brooks Brothers, said he expects to take the company public in the next 12 months as he announced a former Wynn Resorts CEO will be its next chief executive.
In an exclusive interview with CNBC's Sara Eisen, Jamie Salter said Authentic's president, Matt Maddox, who joined the firm as president in January 2025 after a 20-year career at Wynn, will take over as CEO so Salter can transition to executive chairman.
When asked if this means the company is headed for an initial public offering, Salter said he expects the company to go public "sometime in the next 12 months."
"There's no doubt about it that Matt is definitely a great Wall Street CEO," said Salter. "We've almost gone public twice, we've filed twice and both times we were taken out by other private equity firms at much higher prices. I think this time, the company has grown so big that I think this time we'll probably end up going public sometime in the next 12 months."
Salter said the transition is necessary because he's trying to grow Authentic into a $100 billion company over the next five years, and said he needs to spend "100% of my time" focused on the mergers and acquisitions that have long formed the lifeblood of his business.
In his new role, Salter will remain "deeply engaged in the business" but will focus on long-term strategy, Authentic said in a news release. Maddox will lead day-to-day operations with a mandate to scale the business, drive organic growth, and create value for the firm's "shareholders and partners."
In a release, Maddox added "the opportunity ahead is significant, and we are just getting started."
Authentic generates about $38 billion in systemwide retail sales and has become a major force in the retail industry, known for buying the intellectual property behind popular brands that are distressed or bankrupt and licensing that IP for lucrative royalties.
It has more than 50 brands in its portfolio, including Sports Illustrated, Guess and Juicy Couture, and has partnered with major figures like Shaquille O'Neal, David Beckham and Kevin Hart.
Authentic was almost entirely focused on apparel retailers for years, but these days, Salter said he is looking more toward entertainment acquisitions, which are currently the "driving force" of the business.
"Entertainment today is roughly 20% of our business, 80% beauty and lifestyle, but I believe that over a period of time entertainment will become much stronger, going from 20% to 50%," said Salter. "The reason why I want to focus so much on the entertainment business is because it's clear as day that content drives commerce."
Authentic has been signaling it's ready for a public offering for years, most recently in April during the Reuters Momentum AI event where Salter said the company will attempt another IPO "soon."
He added that once the company was ready to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, he planned to be in a leadership position other than CEO.
That moment appears to have arrived with Maddox's appointment as CEO and Salter's transition to executive chairman.
Salter, who has spent decades in the consumer and retail space, is an accomplished investor and dealmaker, but he is less experienced than Maddox when it comes to the chops necessary to run a public company. During his time at Wynn, a near $10 billion market cap company traded on the Nasdaq, Maddox spent almost 15 years in the C-suite as CFO, president and CEO, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Often when companies are nearing an IPO, they will choose leaders who have deep experience running public companies, especially when those firms are led by founders.

The hospitality and gaming markets have evolved into a battle of scale versus luxury. Choosing between MGM Resorts International (MGM +3.28%) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN 0.41%) requires deciding between high-volume diversification and premium-focused concentration.
MGM Resorts provides broad exposure to the mass market and digital gaming through its massive domestic footprint. In contrast, Wynn Resorts targets the high-end traveler with a smaller number of iconic properties that generate significant cash per room.
MGM Resorts is a global leader in the gaming and entertainment industry, operating a vast portfolio of 31 hotel and gaming destinations. Its business strategy centers on a diverse mix of revenue streams, including hospitality, retail, and its expanding BetMGM digital platform. The company's reach extends from the Las Vegas Strip to international markets like Macau, catering to both leisure travelers and corporate meeting planners.
In its 2025 fiscal year (FY), revenue reached $17.5 billion, representing a growth rate of 1.7% over the previous year. The company reported a net margin of 1.2%, which is the percentage of revenue remaining as profit after all expenses are paid. This performance resulted in net income of $211.1 million for the fiscal year.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the company carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 23.1x. This metric, which compares total debt to shareholder equity, indicates a high level of leverage in the capital structure. MGM generated free cash flow of $1.7 billion, which is the cash a company produces through its operations minus the money spent on physical assets. Its current ratio, a measure of the ability to pay short-term obligations with short-term assets, stands at 1.2x.
The case for Wynn ResortsWynn Resorts focuses on the luxury end of the hospitality market, positioning its properties as premier destinations for high-end travelers. The company operates iconic resorts in Las Vegas, Macau, and Boston, and is currently expanding its footprint with a new project in the United Arab Emirates. This focus on the premium segment allows the company to target a specific demographic of affluent customers among consumer discretionary stocks.
During FY 2025, the company generated revenue of $7.1 billion, which remained relatively flat compared to the prior year. Despite the stagnant growth, it achieved a net margin of roughly 4.6%, demonstrating a higher level of profitability per dollar of sales than some of its peers. The resulting net income for the period was $327.3 million.
According to the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is -44.6x. This negative figure means that total liabilities exceed shareholder equity. The company maintains a current ratio of 1.6x, providing a cushion for meeting its immediate financial liabilities. Free cash flow for the year was $692.2 million, reflecting the cash left over after accounting for capital expenditures.
Risk profile comparisonSubstantial debt and fixed rent obligations limit MGM Resorts International and its ability to navigate economic downturns. The company also faces significant geographic concentration on the Las Vegas Strip, making it vulnerable to local disruptions. Additionally, it must compete with large-scale operators like Las Vegas Sands and manage the complex regulatory environment in Macau.
Wynn Resorts relies on a small number of resorts for its entire cash flow, which creates significant vulnerability to local economic shifts. Its heavy dependence on the Macau market carries regulatory risks, as the local government holds the power to rescind gaming concessions. Wynn also faces intense competition from established players such as Caesars Entertainment.
Valuation comparisonMGM Resorts International appears cheaper based on total sales, while Wynn Resorts offers a lower multiple relative to its future earnings estimates.

Which stock would I buy in 2026?Casino stocks have seen the industry experience a rough patch as Las Vegas tourism dropped to record lows last year. This has led to big changes in the sector. Caesars Entertainment stock is going private, leaving MGM Resorts International and Wynn Resorts among two of the most prominent casino stocks.
Even so, that may soon change. MGM Resorts received an acquisition offer from People Incorporated on June 1. The terms involve paying $48.30 per share in an all-cash deal.
Consequently, MGM shares soared to a 52-week high of $51.59, and as a result, buying the stock at this point does not make sense. If the deal goes through, there would be little to no upside. Of course, MGM could reject the takeover bid. So the prudent approach is to hold off any decision around MGM Resorts stock until the dust has settled around the acquisition offer.
This leaves Wynn Resorts as the stock to buy at this time. Its lower forward P/E ratio indicates its future earnings are expected to outpace its rival’s, giving it a better valuation, thanks to its focus on the high-end market.
