Las Vegas, Nevada-based Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) develops, owns, and operates integrated resorts and convention centers in Macao and Singapore. With a market cap of $36 billion, the company offers a wide range of gaming activities and entertainment, as well as overnight accommodations, while its expo centers host a wide range of entertainment shows, expositions, and other activities.
Shares of this casino giant have outperformed the broader market over the past year. LVS has gained 37.9% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 21.5%. However, in 2025, LVS stock is up 1.6%, compared to the SPX’s 7.1% gains on a YTD basis.
Zooming in further, LVS’ outperformance is also apparent compared to the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY). The exchange-traded fund has gained about 27.9% over the past year. However, LVS’ returns on a YTD basis outshine the ETF’s 2.4% losses over the same time frame.
On Jul. 23, LVS reported its Q2 results, and its shares closed up by 7.5% in the following two trading sessions. Its adjusted EPS of $0.79 surpassed Wall Street's expectations of $0.55. The company’s revenue was $3.2 billion, beating Wall Street forecasts of $2.8 billion.
For the current fiscal year, ending in December, analysts expected LVS’ EPS to grow 15% to $2.61 on a diluted basis. The company’s earnings surprise history is disappointing. It missed the consensus estimates in three of the last four quarters while beating the forecast on another occasion.
Among the 16 analysts covering LVS stock, the consensus is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on 10 “Strong Buy” ratings, and six “Holds.”
This configuration is more bullish than a month ago, with nine analysts suggesting a “Strong Buy.”
On Jul. 30, UBS kept a “Neutral” rating on LVS and raised the price target to $55, implying a potential upside of 5.4% from current levels.
The mean price target of $58.29 represents an 11.7% premium to LVS’ current price levels. The Street-high price target of $72.50 suggests an ambitious upside potential of 38.9%.
