GENTING (3182) - Stock Market Buzz

Improving tourist arrivals a boon for gaming sector
PETALING JAYA: The gaming sector is poised for a robust recovery in the second half of 2024 (2H24), driven by increased tourist arrivals and regulatory developments, says Hong Leong Investment Bank Research (HLIB Research).

Maintaining an “overweight” stance on the sector, HLIB Research highlighted several key factors supporting the optimistic outlook.

For casino operators, the research house said the recovery trajectory will be sustainable, underpinned by the restoration of global flight capacity and the visa-free-travel pact between China and both Malaysia and Singapore.

“We anticipate continued earnings recovery for Genting Singapore Ltd and Genting Malaysia Bhd in 2H24 and beyond – and thus benefiting Genting Bhd – driven by the ongoing rebound in tourist numbers,” it noted.

Genting owns 52.7% of Genting Singapore and 49.5% of Genting Malaysia.
While Malaysia and Singapore had shown resilience as destinations for Chinese travellers in 2023, HLIB Research pointed out that travel volumes are still at 48% and 47% of 2019 levels, respectively, indicating further potential for recovery.

Malaysia aims to achieve foreign-tourist arrivals of 27.3 million in 2024 versus 20.1 million in 2023 and 26.1million in 2019, while Singapore is hoping to see about 15 to 16 million visitors this year against 13.6 million in 2023 and 19.1 million in 2019.
Specifically, Resorts World Genting and Resorts World Sentosa are poised to benefit from the recovery of Chinese tourist arrivals, a crucial client segment for the gaming industry,” it added.

In addition to the tourism boost, HLIB Research said Genting’s 20.4%-owned associate TauRx Pharmaceuticals Ltd, has shown promising results in its clinical trials for hydromethylthionine mesylate (HMTM), a drug aimed at treating Alzheimer’s disease.

“The new data show that benefit can be maintained over 24 months and highlight the importance of starting HMTM treatment early in the disease process,” said TauRx chief executive officer Claude Wischik earlier this year.

According to HLIB Research, the market for drugs that slow Alzheimer’s progression was devoid of competitors back in 2015.

It said the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had recently approved two drugs for treating Alzheimer’s – Leqembi by Biogen and Eisai in July 2023, and Kisunla by company Eli Lilly in July 2024.

With potential FDA approval, TauRx could significantly enhance Genting’s value.
Assuming three of the drugs capture the addressable market equally, this could imply TauRx is worth US$5bil.

“Genting’s stake could be worth US$1bil or RM1.22 per share, which is approximately 25% of current market cap. To be conservative, we will only consider this valuation in our target price post-FDA approval,” it added.

As for number forecast operators (NFOs), HLIB Research pointed to the recent High Court ruling that the Kedah government’s decision to cease issuing and renewing business licences for gaming operators is unconstitutional, as only the federal government has the authority to enact laws and regulations regarding gambling.

@neohts, this HLIB analyst doesnt even own a single Taurx share, his estimate is way off. I sold some Taurx shares not long ago, kena seller remorse, bought back some shares and still buying more. The value amount of Taurx shares Im transacting are not small.

Its ok there will always be naysayers in any investment. We let the Taurx Royal Flush next year (UAE + UK + FDA + EU + CHINA) CAs/AA do the talking.

TOKYO -- Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai is developing an Alzheimer's disease treatment that targets a protein linked to symptoms, aiming to release it in the U.S. by fiscal 2030, Nikkei has learned.

Small-scale clinical trials are underway to confirm the safety of the drug candidate, which targets tau proteins. Such drugs, though difficult to develop, are expected to be highly effective if successful.

We discovered this fact during 1980s, now then amyloid drug developers realise targeting Tau can produce much more powerful results. We are lightyears ahead of any real clinically credible AD drug.

Dont blame taurx for retail punters' misfortunate. When Maybank etc analysts recommend buy, its often too late to buy liow (Johnny-come-late syndrome). Retail punters' human nature, greed n behaviour never change generations after generations. Cannot blame Taurx / Maybank IB/ etc when punters like to buy near resistance zones n sell near support zones.

Alzheimer research is still at the Elephant and Blind Men Stage.
Various research groups in the world, being totally different blind men only sees and address different parts of elephant body.

Consider a specialised cell say a neuron in the brain as say = a Kicap Factory.
Every submachine in the Kicap Factory, has a unit counter and stops working once limit is reached, essentially a “Hayflick Limit”
A situation say a covid-19 infection, “production of ink”, essentially you hijacked the Kicap Factory to produce ink aka covid-19 molecules and no longer wanted product Kicap.
Production inside the cell has been hijacked to produce molecules of Covid-19 instead. Kicap Factory hijacked to make ink and not Kicap. Unit counters in every submachine inside Kicap Factory continues running even though making “wrong product” of ink. Due to non-stop running abuse, 1 or more submachines inside kicap factory aka neuron had reached lifetime limit producing ink and stops working. Say example, carton box packing machine stops working and kicap bottles are no longer packed.
So what you see outside kicap factory car park area are lots of carton boxes and bottles of kicap since carton boxes and kicap bottles no longer consumed for packaging. So you see amyloid beta protein and tau proteins inside brain. Production line is stalled.
=> Some smart feller now says Alzheimer is caused by carton boxes aka tau proteins.
=> Another research group elsewhere in the world says Alzheimer? it’s the kicap bottles no longer packed aka amyloid beta protein.

All are correct and all are wrong.

So it’s a miracle that those infected by covid-19 gets higher risk of Alzheimers?
Answer is no.
The Hayflick limit had been breached in submachines so those infected by covid-19 gets Alzheimers is considered a given known normal event.
Some viruses, covid-19 included, always runs those submachines inside cell non-stop 24/7/365 because newly evolved viruses “knows” it has a limited time span to produce. Viruses can be destructive machine runners. Whereas normal cell activity always stops and rests for submachine repair and maintenance.

So totally different Alzheimer drugs approved by FDA addressed the same symptom problem in totally different ways as an extremely short term solution.

All Alzheimer drugs are of help and all are of no help.

Once the Hayflick Limit had been breached. Its already luncheon meat time for those brain cells.

Higher 2Q earnings expected for Genting Malaysia

PETALING JAYA: Genting Malaysia Bhd’s (GenM) US operations are expected to deliver stronger earnings in the second quarter of 2024 (2Q24), supporting the resilience of the leisure and gaming conglomerate.

According to Phillip Capital Research, GenM’s leisure and gaming business in the United States accounted for about 18% to 20% of the group’s revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) in 2023.

In its report, the brokerage highlighted that GenM’s New York video gaming machine (VGM) facilities, including Resorts World New York City and Resorts World Hudson Valley, reported a combined net win growth of 5.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) in 2Q24, outpacing New York state’s overall growth of 4.3%.

Resorts World Hudson Valley, owned by 49% associate Genting Empire Resorts, delivered the highest net wins growth at 19.4% y-o-y on a low-base effect, as it only began operations in December 2022, Phillip Capital Research noted, adding that as a result, VGM’s market share expanded a 0.6 percentage point y-o-y.

Copy and paste: 🙄

Phillip Capital Research maintained its “buy” call on GenM, with an unchanged target price of RM3.45. “GenM remains our sector top pick, given the superior 6.8% dividend yield. We continue to advocate investors to accumulate on share price weakness, as GenM trades at an undemanding 6.6 times estimated 2025 enterprise value-to-Ebitda,” it explained.
