The latest set of data could offer a read-through for Genting SP (GENS) upcoming 1Q15 results, which could similarly show a drop in VIP volumes and lacklustre performance from its hotel businesses.
Maybank-KE recently upgraded Genting Singapore to Buy with TP of $1.08. Overall, the house believes short-term headwinds have been largely priced in while the longer-term positive catalysts are ignored.
