Red Rock Resorts Stock Climbs Amid Expansion Success

70

Shares of Red Rock Resorts (NASDAQ: RRR) saw an uptick on Thursday as the market reacted positively to the company’s promising stock price and corporate debt numbers. This enthusiasm among analysts comes on the heels of the company’s strategic expansion, including the inauguration of the Durango Casino & Resort in the southwest region of Las Vegas. This recent addition is poised to cater to the Las Vegas locals, a market that Red Rock has consistently served and flourished within.

Barclays, a noted research firm, has embarked on covering the gaming stock and has granted it an “overweight” rating based on several key factors. Red Rock Resorts is recognized for operating within the intriguing Las Vegas Locals gaming market, a niche that offers a significant, yet often underappreciated, competitive edge. The company’s development pipeline is cited as a catalyst likely to expedite EBITDA growth and outperform regional counterparts in both the short and long term.

Analysts have spotlighted Red Rock’s extensive property ownership and its strong development pipeline. According to these experts, these factors contribute to a scenario that presents a compelling mix of low risk and high reward. They further argue that the stock, currently deemed inexpensive, is well-positioned to make gains from a more advantageous interest rate landscape.

The Durango Casino & Resort, which marked its grand opening just over a month ago, is anticipated to significantly boost Red Rock’s financial performance. Situated in a rapidly expanding yet underserved area of Las Vegas, Durango represents a strategic bet on geographically targeted growth. Revenue and cash flow contributions are expected, although Gimme Credit analyst Kim Noland predicts that reaching peak returns may take an estimated 2-3 years.

Adding to the company’s bright prospects is the recent approval of a management contract with the North Fork Rancheria tribe of Mono Indians to develop a casino in Madera, California. This partnership could prove to be a substantial driver for the company’s stock and debt instruments over time. Upon its completion, this landmark project is expected to include expansive gaming facilities and a host of dining experiences, under a multi-year management agreement that should compensate for revenue dips following the conclusion of the Graton management agreement.

Noland has expressed a favorable view on Red Rock’s bonds due in 2031, citing a recent dip in yields that indicates a corresponding increase in bond prices.

Cornerstone to Red Rock’s allure is its real estate assets. The company boasts full ownership of the land housing its casino resorts, in addition to significant quantities of undeveloped land. Some analysts estimate the value of these holdings to be near the company’s market capitalization of $5.31 billion, suggesting the potent untapped value within its share price.

Chad Beynon from Macquarie has weighed in positively, offering an “outperform” rating for Red Rock with a $58 price target, underlined by confidence in the company’s asset portfolio and developmental prospects, which are expected to fuel growth for years to come.
