M Stanley Projects MO Oct GGR to Be Roughly Flat YoY, Favors GALAXY ENT and WYNN MACAU
2026-09-24 11:24:30
Hotel surveys for this year's Golden Week in Oct revealed hotel demand was roughly flat YoY, Morgan Stanley said in a research report. Occupancy rates were 6 ppts lower than the May Golden Week period and 4 ppts lower than the Oct Golden Week last year, although average room rates were higher.

Demand during the Oct Golden Week was relatively soft, possibly as a result of the strong performance during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the close proximity between the two holidays, the broker noted, expecting Sep GGR to grow by a HSD percentage YoY, while Oct GGR would remain roughly flat.

After a year of continuous downward revisions to earnings forecasts, the industry may be approaching a trough, the broker opined. However, market forecasts for EBITDA in 3Q26 and 2026 remain elevated. It favored GALAXY ENT (00027.HK) and WYNN MACAU (01128.HK) due to their competitive market share, better-than-market-expected EBITDA in 3Q, and higher dividend yields.
