Let me give you the live action on the ground instead of reading what analysts said. Am in MBS and took up their 100k NN package. With that, i get 2 room nights worth $1.1k per night. With RWS? The same amount will get me Hotel Michael. Have you stayed at Hotel Michael? Basically it's a no frill so called 5 star hotel just like Genting 5 star. The boss mindset still very chinaman. Room is for you to sleep and you are expected to gamble 24 hours a day. The last time i was at RWS, it was basically 30% of pre covid level. Casinos make major chunk of their money from VIPs. RWS only attracts mass markets. Genting can only be a kampung champion because of monopoly in Malaysia. With casinos opening everywhere (Thailand, Japan), the only path forward for Genting is downward. It's not maybe, it's inevitable. Of course, no issues for LKT, he is the highest paid CEO in Malaysia thanks to you. BTW, you think he deserves to be highest paid?
real inflation is at least in the double digits and when be like that for a long time but any moh use magic to exclude so many inflationary items from their calculations
According to friend of mine associated with Medscape U.K. a medical journal. U.K. regulatory approval for Taurx is very likely this year! TAURX have accelerated pathway for approval. The question is when they get approval what will Genting share price do? A 20-30% pop is possible. Then usual profit takers would sell and this will be followed by another up lift from institutional investors when true impact is known. Being overweight in Genting is not a bad strategy.
Walaoeh, Asian bourses spike up like mad ! Hang Seng => 19,902.49(+263.38)(+1.34%) Shanghai index=> 3,272.69(+56.02)(+1.74%) Singapore STI=> 3,368.43 (+31.01)(+0.93%) Taiwan index=> 17,292.83 (+51.11)(+0.30%)
KLSE is the lowest haven’t up one and now only around 1450++ points only , it should now already spike up to above 1,500 point ++ already !
GENTING BERHAD ("COMPANY") Offering by Resorts World Las Vegas LLC and RWLV Capital Inc., both of which are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, of US$400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 8.450% Senior Notes due 2030 ("Notes")
Does it mean Genting need to pay 8.45% interest to those investor that purchase the Notes? USD400,000,000 x 8.45% x RM4.5 = RM152,000,000 interest per annum? Why willing to pay so high interest?
Charlie Munger always says EBITA buay zhun he doesn't use this measurement. Im curious what is RWLV's GAAP net profit figure since EBITA is frequently used.
I read somewhere that RWLV cost abt USD4.3B with most of the development cost using borrowed money. Im sure LKT would have locked in cheaper interest USA loans for a certain time duration but imagine USD4B of loans to be rolled over progressively at over 8%... Damn siong most of the profit sucked off by banks/bond holders. Maybe this recent USD400m notes (7 years) @8.45% is part of the RWLV development loans being rolled over at new rate?
All USD dollar bonds mature only in 2026 & beyond ($0.52b 2026, $1.5b 2027, $1.0b 2029, $0.4b 2030, $1.35b 2031). Casino business is largely cash-based; net cash flow from operation of RM7.3b in 2022 has exceeded pre-covid levels and will only grow further from here. Huge capital expenditure are largely completed with probably Singapore and New York (if secured new license) as exceptions.
- 不过,位于Bahamas的Resort World Bimini却面临非常多的挑战,尤其是当地的疫情限制措施。去年的复苏进度比预期中慢,导致生意处于亏损状态,被迫根据情况作出大约USD65m的减值动作。不过,今年情况已有所好转,随着游轮到达的次数增加,客流量也回升,预计在年底EBITDA水平上扭亏为盈。
- 值得一提,Resorts World New York持有的执照仅局限于电子赌博游戏和老虎机,当中没有包含桌上的赌博游戏。美国曾在2013年开放多达7张完整赌场执照,当中的4张已经颁发,其中1张被Empire Resorts的Resorts World Catskills拿下。经过多年后,最后3张执照终于在2023年初开放让市场竞标。
