Longleaf Partners International Fund Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. | “Melco Resorts – Macau casino operator Melco Resorts was a top contributor for the quarter. Melco reported a strong set of Q1 results beating street expectations while founder CEO Lawrence Ho struck an upbeat tone on April and May holiday performance. Having changed senior management and the marketing strategy last year, we saw early signs of market share gains this quarter. Melco was the biggest market share gainer in the quarter – its Macau Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) market share increased from 14.7% in 4Q to 15.7% in 1Q (helped by VIP luck factor but even mass share increased by over 40 basis points year-over-year (YoY)). The company relaunched its popular show House of Dancing Water in May, which is bringing additional foot traffic to its flagship resort, enabling it to maintain its market share momentum… The company also bought back US $165 million worth of shares YTD (over 7% of market cap) despite high financial leverage. BSD Analysis: Melco Resorts & Entertainment is a high-beta, asset-rich casino pure-play whose stock is a conviction bet on the accelerating recovery of the Macau gaming market and its dominant position in the premium mass segment. The core moat is its ownership of premier, integrated resorts (City of Dreams, Studio City) and its disciplined focus on high-margin leisure and non-gaming revenue. The stock is an asymmetric recovery play, penalized by historical volatility, but poised for massive earnings leverage as mathbfChina's Group Tour Scheme and mathbfIndividual} Visit Scheme drive a sustained surge in visitation.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jul 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
