According to a research report by CLSA, although Macau's gross gaming revenue (GGR) performed well in the first quarter of 2026, the firm maintains its growth forecasts for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 at 5% and 4%, respectively. The report suggests that there is limited room for positive surprises from organic growth going forward, primarily due to an expected near-term decline in industry profitability. However, a stronger Renminbi is still seen as a supportive factor. CLSA has downgraded its rating for SJM Holdings to "underperform," while naming Galaxy Entertainment and Sands China Ltd as its top picks.
