Wynn Resorts is a major operator, owner, and developer of luxury casino resorts around the world. Wynn’s core locations include Macau, Las Vagas, and Boston.
Wynn Resorts is also jumping in on the online sports betting space through their Wynn Interactive segment which recently launched in New Jersey.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 has rocked the stock, and not in a good way. On the flip side of things, investors are now being presented an opportunity given the vaccine rollout and beginning of the pandemic and economic recovery.

Not only did Wynn Resorts report a massive revenue decline but the company reported a net loss of $758.1 million throughout the third quarter.
Wynn Resorts went on to report their adjusted property EBITDA landed at a low $-65.9 million for Q3, much lower than the 2019 same time level of $396.9 million.
Management was upbeat about the quarter, noting that COVID-19 did take a toll on the company but has a bright future.
“We are encouraged by the progress we have made in each of our properties over the past several months, despite the ongoing impact of the virus and related operating limitations,” CEO Matt Maddox said.
