On September 10, GALAXY ENT fell 3.13% in regular trading, trading at HK$32.24 per share, with turnover of HK$274 million, as the broader Casinos & Gaming sector experienced a broad-based selloff.
The decline was driven by a combination of sector-wide weakness and a cautious brokerage outlook on Macau gaming stocks. Jefferies issued a neutral stance on the sector, noting that average daily gross gaming revenue (GGR) for the first six days of September came in at approximately MOP 633 million, down 10% from August's daily average despite a 4% year-over-year increase. The brokerage estimated that mass and VIP GGR declined 10%-12% and 8%-10% month-over-month respectively. While September GGR is projected to grow around 9% year-over-year, the improvement largely reflects a low base from last year's typhoon-related casino closures rather than organic momentum.
Across the sector, MGM China fell 3.53%, SJM Holdings dropped 2.46%, Sands China declined 2.25%, Wynn Macau shed 2.05%, and NagaCorp slipped 1.10%. Goldman Sachs previously maintained a Buy rating on GALAXY ENT with a HK$51 target price, but near-term sequential softness in gaming revenue weighed on sector sentiment.
