📚 Deep Dive 📚
📈 Stock of the Week: Wynn Resorts ($WYNN)
🎯 Why We Like It Here
We’ve been watching Wynn ($WYNN) quietly build energy under the radar, and now it’s showing clear signs of a major breakout. The setup is clean, the technicals are aligning, and institutions are starting to position for the next leg higher.
Wynn is in a class of its own. While the rest of the Las Vegas Strip scrambles to attract foot traffic and manage debt, Wynn operates like the LVMH of casinos—luxury, exclusivity, and pricing power. They’re not dependent on mobile betting promos or mid-tier tourism. They cater to the top, and the top is still spending.
📊 Technical Setup – Breakout in Progress
- Golden Cross on Daily and Weekly Charts ✅
- Breaking a 3-year downtrend that capped price since 2021
- Volume picking up on up days = accumulation
- A move above $120 confirms the macro breakout
- $113–115 is the smart entry range for early positioning
📌 Price Targets:
- 🔹 Target 1: $140 (2021 swing high)
- 🔹 Target 2: $160–200 (long-term ATH retest)
🧠 Institutional Backing + Macro Tailwinds
- Barclays & Morgan Stanley: Overweight $WYNN, PTs up to $127
- Citi: Downgraded to Neutral but raised price target from $108 → $114 🤔
- Macau GGR growth is back online, with Wynn well-positioned to benefit
- UAE mega-resort opens in 2027–2028 = long-term growth catalyst
- Exited WynnBet = no mobile cash burn, tighter margin control
- Luxury consumer still spending, even as general Vegas tourism softens
Wynn doesn’t need the crowd—it needs the right guest. That’s a sustainable edge.
