Sinking feeling at Sands amid tourism crunch
Sands China (1928), the Macau casino operator controlled by billionaire Sheldon Adelson, reported third-quarter profit fell 33 percent, missing analysts' estimates, as competition for tourists intensified in the territory's Cotai Strip area.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization shrank to US$545 million (HK$4.25 billion) from US$811.6 million a year earlier, the parent company Las Vegas Sands Corp said.
That compares with the US$563 million median estimate of five analysts in a survey. Revenue shrank 29 percent to US$1.66 billion, the company said.
Sands China shares rose 0.2 percent to HK$28. Galaxy Entertainment (0027) advanced 1.9 percent, the top gainer among Macau casino stocks after it confirmed the government approved 100 additional gaming tables for its projects.
"Sands lost market share in the third quarter on some customer overlap with Galaxy Macau, which opened phase two," Karen Tang, a Deutsche Bank analyst, wrote in a note, referring to Galaxy's expansion of an existing casino-resort in the Cotai Strip.
Casino operators are building shops, tourist attractions and other non-gambling features to lure tourists as part of Macau's goal to reduce reliance on hard-core players. Sands China's Parisian Macao is targeted for a summer 2016 debut.
Adelson, who said after the results that he's seeing signs of stabilization in Macau's mass market gambling, remains apprehensive about the outlook for the world's largest gambling hub.
"It's virtually impossible for us to tell you what we how to think about Macau," he said.

Sands bottoms out
Billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson said Macau's gambling market has stabilized after Las Vegas Sands' unit in the SAR announced fourth- quarter earnings that fell less than analysts' estimates.
Sands China (1928) said adjusted earnings fell 19 percent to US$581.2 million (HK$4.53 billion).
"I thought we had either hit bottom in the mass market or were bottoming out," Adelson said.
Macau is facing headwinds as Beijing's crackdown on corruption and a slowing economy have scared away high-end gamblers from the world's largest gambling market.
While the territory's casino takings dropped 21.2 percent in December falling for the 19th straight month that represented the smallest year-on-year decline since last January. Sands China shares jumped 6.7 percent to HK$26.20.
Sands adjusted earnings in Singapore fell 35 percent to US$338.2 million.
In Las Vegas, adjusted earnings rose 25 percent to US$97.4 million.
Profit excluding some items fell to 62 cents a share.
Sales slumped to US$2.86 billion, while it raised its quarterly dividend to 72 cents a share for this year.
