Analysts cite February pressures in Las Vegas gaming outlook
Analysts Barry Jonas of Truist Securities and John DeCree of CBRE discussed Las Vegas gaming performance and the outlook for 2025, with Jonas attributing weaker Strip results partly to the comparison with February 2024. Jonas said Strip casino win excluding baccarat fell 3% year on year and forecast improvement in March; he also said Truist cut its first-quarter EBITDA estimate for Boyd by 3%.
Investors can weigh the Strip’s year-on-year decline against the forecast March improvement and Boyd estimate reduction.
