Shares of Macau casinos surged by 53% amid a rise in tourism in the region
Signs of a rapid recovery in the gaming sector began to emerge in May, when Galaxy Entertainment Chairman Francis Lui reported double-digit revenue growth during the holiday period. This result far exceeded the forecasts of investment banks, which had anticipated only modest increases in revenue. In June, Macau's gross gaming revenue reached 21.06 billion patacas (approximately $2.6 billion), marking a surprising 19% year-on-year increase. Analysts noted that these figures surpassed seasonal expectations, which typically decline ahead of the summer vacation period.
Last week, Seaport Research Partners raised its forecast for Macau's gross gaming revenue growth in 2025 to 7%. They estimate that revenue growth could reach 9% in the second half of the year. These updated projections reflect growing investor confidence in Macau's sustainable recovery.
Analysts believe that revenue growth in 2025 will be supported by a flexible visa policy, improved logistics, and active development of non-gaming offerings. Currently, Macau casino stocks appear attractive to investors, given the favorable long-term outlook. Leading the growth is Melco Resorts & Entertainment, whose shares have skyrocketed by 95% since April. Following closely is MGM China Holdings, which has seen a 70% increase.
It is worth noting that Galaxy Entertainment Group and Sands China are expected to lead the gaming market in Macau by July 2025.
