Action:Reiterated
Date:06/16/26
The score is held back primarily by high leverage and ongoing net losses despite improving revenue and materially better cash generation. Technicals add further pressure given a clear downtrend versus key moving averages, while valuation is constrained by a negative P/E and no indicated dividend support.
Positive Factors
Improved cash generation
Studio City's shift to positive operating cash flow ($210M in 2025) and sustained free cash flow ($103M–$148M) represents a structural change from prior cash burn. Durable FCF supports debt servicing, reinvestment in resort assets and reduces reliance on external funding if trends persist.
Negative Factors
High leverage
Despite recent improvements, leverage remains elevated (debt‑to‑equity ~3.9x and total debt above $2B), constraining financial flexibility. High leverage increases interest sensitivity and reduces cushion against tourism or regulatory shocks in Macau, limiting strategic optionality.
