Hong Kong stocks were generally weak. Among them, Galaxy Entertainment fell nearly 4%, Sands China fell 2.4%, Melco International Development and Aobo Holdings fell 1.4%, and Wynn Macau and MGM China followed suit. According to the news, CITIC Lyon's latest research report said that although total gaming revenue in Macau increased 0.6% year on year in the first quarter of 2025, the Macau gaming industry EBITDA is expected to drop 6% year on year to US$1,897 million due to the decline in overall profit margins. The bank expects total gaming revenue growth to remain close to a standstill in 2025, lowering the annual growth forecast from 4% to 2%, 1 percentage point lower than institutional expectations, while lowering the 2025-2026 industrial EBITDA forecast by 2%, and lowering the target EV/EBITDA ratio and target share price. Furthermore, Macau Chief Executive Shum Ho-fai recently pointed out when issuing his first policy address during his tenure that the post-epidemic recovery of the travel gaming industry is gradually slowing down, and this year's fiscal revenue may not be as optimistic as expected.
