Recent Developments

Our Views

One of the most profitable and diversified gaming operators in a duopoly market. GENS operates Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), one of Southeast Asia’s largest integrated resorts. It enjoys a strategic location in Singapore, a thriving tourism hub with strong domestic demand. The duopoly market structure supports relatively low competitive intensity.

Huge net cash position creates meaningful opportunities to unlock shareholder value. Although the upcoming waterfront development will require sizeable capex, our scenario analysis indicates the company has headroom to pay out >SGD1bn in cash while maintaining modest debt borrowings. In our view, a material capital return plan be it through equal access offer or special dividend could excite the market, and act as a catalyst to improve valuations and unlock value for shareholders. Even without, the significant cash reserve could support a progressive dividend policy, which will provide share price support.  

Cut FY26F EBITDA by 5% to reflect a softer starting point from FY25, but remain constructive on a sustained operational turnaround. Although FY25 gaming performance was disappointing, we expect a stronger FY26 as renovation-related disruptions fade and key attractions are largely back online. We also believe the new senior hires are reviewing operations and will drive initiatives to sharpen RWS’s competitiveness and recapture market share from MBS.

Maintain BUY with lower TP of SGD0.85. Our TP is based on 7.3x forward EV/blended FY26F and FY27F EBITDA, in line with the company’s 5-year average. We believe a blended EBITDA is appropriate as the company is on the verge of operational turnaround with strong double-digit growth for next 2 years. We see scope for a re-rating as the company unlocks value from its substantial cash reserves and improves its ROC, a key metric that correlates to valuation. 

Risks

Downside risk on acceleration of market share loss to MBS, no defined capital return plans
