Ongoing anxieties concerning the global coronavirus pandemic have recently sent stock prices falling around the world while yesterday reportedly saw the value of shares in Macau’s six licensed casino operators hit extraordinary lows.

According to a report from Inside Asian Gaming, the value of individual shares in Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited has now dropped by 38% in the last ten weeks to stand at just over $4.97 as of yesterday. This Hong Kong-listed firm is responsible for the giant Galaxy Macau, StarWorld Macau and Broadway Macau venues with its current valuation purportedly representing a 19.8% decline on last week’s finishing price of $6.20.

Sands slips:

Similarly, the Sands China Limited subordinate of American casino behemoth Las Vegas Sands Corporation reportedly closed out Thursday trading with its shares being worth only $3.37. This valuation for the operator behind The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao, Sands Macao, The Parisian Macao and Sands Cotai Central properties purportedly equates to a slump of 19.4% from last week’s $4.18 and is approximately 39% down when compared with the $5.51 seen on January 2.

Historic tumble:

For its part and the MGM China Holdings Limited subsidiary of Las Vegas-headquartered MGM Resorts International reportedly finished yesterday with each of its shares being worth a mere $0.98, which represents a 13.2% fall from the $1.13 seen on March 10. Inside Asian Gaming detailed that this is the lowest valuation for the Macau-facing operator of the MGM Macau and MGM Cotai venues since late-February of 2016 and is 62% down on the all-time high of $3.13 its saw in January of 2018.

Momentous nadir:

This firm is responsible for the 1,000-room Wynn Macau as well as the even grander Wynn Palace Cotai and is purportedly suffering alongside its competitors as gamblers stay away due in large part to the recent imposition of coronavirus-related travel restrictions alongside last month’s temporary 15-day shutdown.

American apprehension:

This firm runs the Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas venues as well as Massachusetts’ impressive Encore Boston Harbor property and purportedly rallied somewhat yesterday to end the day with its shares at $46.58.
