The company had registered a loss of $7.04 per share in the same quarter last year.

Revenue of $994.6 million increased substantially from $370.5 million a year ago and surpassed the Street’s estimate of $942.6 million. The upside was primarily due to higher revenue across all units, especially casino, rooms and food & beverage. (See Wynn stock chart on TipRanks)

Wynn’s CEO, Matt Maddox, said, “With our recent investments in innovative food and beverage offerings, a new convention facility in Las Vegas and a revamped casino loyalty program, the best days are ahead for our business in North America. And while there have been some fits and starts along the road to recovery in Macau, we are confident that Macau will benefit from the return of consumer demand as we progress through 2022.”
