Genting shares rise 3 percent on improved outlook for gaming
Reuters – 1 hour 30 minutes ago
SINGAPORE, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Shares in Genting Singapore
PLC jumped after the casino operator's results came
above market estimates, powered by a strong rise in the premium
business, suggesting the worst was over for the Singapore gaming
sector.
Genting, which runs Resorts World Sentosa in the affluent
city-state, reported a 6 percent fall in October-December core
profit to S$369 million ($298 million) on Thursday but this beat
the average estimate of S$332 million, according to five
brokerages polled by Reuters.
Analysts are expected to upgrade earnings estimates and
ratings on Genting, whose shares have been the best performer in
the Singapore index over the past three months, rising
24 percent. The shares underperformed last year.
On Friday, Genting was up 3 percent at S$1.54 on strong
volumes in a flat market.
Genting has been burdened by a slowing market and tighter
local regulations as the novelty aspect of Singapore's two
multibillion-dollar casino complexes wears off.

Reuters –
SINGAPORE, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Genting Singapore PLC
, a casino operator that runs Resorts World Sentosa in
the affluent city-state, reported a 6 percent fall in
fourth-quarter profit but the result still came above estimates.
"Comparing to the fourth quarter of 2011, the business
volume in the premium players segment improved significantly by
56 percent. However, this was offset by weaker win percentage in
the premium players business," it said in a statement on
Thursday.
Margins will remain under pressure in the first half of this
year, Genting Singapore said.
The gaming and resort operator is burdened by a slowing
market and tighter local regulations as the novelty aspect of
Singapore's two multibillion-dollar casino complexes wears off.
Its October-December core earnings or adjusted earnings
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)
fell to S$369 million ($298 million) from S$394 million a year
earlier.
This was above the average estimate of S$332 million,
according to five analysts surveyed by Reuters.
Strong performances at rival Las Vegas Sands Corp's
Singapore and Chinese properties had raised market expectations
the worst might be over for Genting Singapore.
Genting Singapore's shares have been the best performers
over the past three months, jumping 24 percent versus a 5
percent rise in the broader benchmark index. The shares
underperformed last year.
tomorrow I think genting open 1.4 only

Result still above estimate...not end of the world yet.

Gentings 4th quarter results 162m  this year vs 254m last year. 
Lidat how now? Back to 1.20?
Lucky I cleared all at 1.62 cos MBS's good results were contributed by Macau and in S'pore I know all the high-rollers are playing at MBS.

Multiplier effect of M'sia-S'pore high-speed rail, estimated at RM20bil to RM30bil, likely to be huge
 
Affin Research also expects the construction and building materials companies to benefit. Other beneficiaries include land owners along the rail link and key stations as well as property developers. “Overall, we are positive on this development, as it will be a game-changer for the economic dynamics in Malaysia,” said UOB Kay Hian. The research house noted that the winners included Genting Malaysia Bhd, as the HSR could see a ramp-up in Singaporean patronage, given the shorter travel time and easy access from Singapore to Genting Highlands. “Malaysia provides cheaper gaming entertainment compared with the entrance fee to the Singaporean casinos (S$100 (RM250) per entry), and given Singapore's much stronger currency rate,” UOB Kay Hian said. “In the past year, Resorts World Genting has seen an increase in Singaporean arrivals that have exceeded the number of arrivals pre-opening of the Singaporean casinos.”
