Melco Resorts this week draws attention from Citigroup, which initiated coverage with a "buy" rating and a $9.40 price target, adding to a "Moderate Buy" consensus from Wall Street brokerages with an average target of $7.27. Separately, the company launched REM, a new luxury hotel brand at City of Dreams Macau aimed at premium guests, while Macau's Golden Week holiday drew more visitors but softer-than-expected gaming revenue. Shares also remain below $5 following Q2 2026 results that showed a 5.7% revenue decline to $1.25 billion, even as earnings per share matched consensus.
MLCO closes at $4.22, down 0.2%, sitting below both its 50-day average of $5.00 and its 200-day average of $5.62, with the stock down 16.4% over one month and 49.6% over the past year. The GekkoIndex reads 66.7, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone. Price sits 27.5% below the Gekko Fair Value of $5.82.
Earnings are scheduled for 5 November, 24 days away and inside a typical 20-trading-day holding window, with the last report showing EPS of $0.21 against a $0.09 estimate. Seasonality over the next 20 trading days has averaged a 7.3% decline across 5 years, rising in 2 of them. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the current window, though one billionaire holder is recorded, and consensus analyst coverage shows 3 buy and 2 hold ratings among 5 firms.
