Daiwa Capital Markets published a research report stating that Galaxy Entertainment (00027.HK) saw a 14% quarter-on-quarter increase in gaming revenue in the fourth quarter of last year, outperforming the industry growth rate of approximately 6%, and recovering to about 97% of 2019 levels.

Management also expects the momentum to remain strong in March and the first quarter overall, and has committed to continuously reviewing the dividend policy. Accordingly, the firm has raised its EBITDA forecasts for Galaxy Entertainment for 2026 and 2027 by 1% each, maintaining a "Buy" rating and raising the target price by 4% to HKD 49
