Recent Developments

Our Views

One of the most profitable diversified gaming operators in a duopoly

market. GENS operates Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), one of Southeast Asia’s largest integrated resorts. It holds a prime position in Singapore, a vibrant tourism hub with a strong domestic market. Competition is relatively less intense due to the duopoly structure, and RWS benefits from stronger business diversification (higher % of non-gaming revenue) and a broader geographical reach in terms of source markets, generally achieving higher EBITDA margins.

 

Stronger 2H25 vs. 1H25 led by new hotel rooms, retail spaces, and Oceanarium opening in 3Q25. The hotel opening has been pushed to 3Q25 due to construction pauses to minimise noise disruption. The S.E.A. Aquarium will close for 2.5 months in 1H25 ahead of its Oceanarium relaunch in Jul-25. New retail stores will begin opening in the coming months following recent government approval to lease out spaces. Occupancy is expected to reach 70-80% by early 3Q25. Higher initial costs in preparation for these openings will likely soften 1H25 EBITDA margins. However, we expect a sequential recovery as income from the new openings starts to flow in.

 

Cut FY25F adj. EBITDA by 6%, increase FY26F adj. EBITDA by 5%. The delay in hotel reopening from 1Q25 to early 3Q25 and S.E.A. Aquarium closure in 2Q25 have led us to lower our FY25F non-gaming revenue forecast from SGD1.1bn to SGD1.0bn. We also expect margin pressure as operational costs could exceed expectations due to delays and multiple new openings this year. However, we anticipate cost pressures easing in 2026, with earnings growth accelerating from new attractions, luxury rooms, and retail stores.

 

Maintain BUY with TP of SGD0.95. Our TP of SGD0.95 is based on a blended valuation framework of (i) forward EV/EBITDA of 6.5x on FY25F estimates, and (ii) DCF, assuming 8.5% WACC and 3% risk-free rate. While the lower FY25F EBITDA reduces our EV/EBITDA valuation, this is offset by a higher DCF valuation, driven by stronger growth prospects from 2026 onwards.
