The company has surpassed Wall Street's earnings estimates in the last four quarters. For fiscal 2026, analysts expect an adjusted EPS of $3.38, a 12.3% increase from $3.01 in fiscal 2025. Shares of Las Vegas Sands have risen 8% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the S&P 500 Index's 19.8% gain but slightly outpacing the State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF's 6.4% return. Despite reporting better-than-expected first quarter 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.91 and revenue of $3.58 billion on April 22, shares tumbled 8.6% the next day as investors focused on margin weakness in Macau driven by intense competition and rising promotional spending. Analysts' consensus view on the stock is cautiously optimistic, with a Moderate Buy rating overall and an average price target of $68.08, indicating a potential upside of 44.5% from current levels.
