SINGAPORE (Jan 28): UOB Kay Hian is maintaining “overweight” on gaming with a “buy” call on Genting Singapore (GENS) at a $1.38 target price, or 10 times 2019 EV/EBITDA, on the notion that the integrated resort (IR) operator’s share price could gain momentum on its bidding for Japan’s IR concessions.
This comes as the research house expects GENS’s operational performance to outperform that of Marina Bay Sands (MBS), whose VIP and mass market gaming volume continued to deteriorate y-o-y over 4Q18.
