# Low Rolling-Play Hold Hits Sands China’s Q2 Macao Earnings

Sands China ( (HK:1928) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Sands China has disclosed key second-quarter 2026 figures drawn from the U.S. GAAP results of controlling shareholder Las Vegas Sands, highlighting a softer quarter for its Macao operations. Management said investments in service and hospitality drove higher gaming volumes year-on-year, but unusually low hold in rolling play weighed on reported performance.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, Sands China’s total net revenue dipped 0.8% to US$1.78 billion versus the same period in 2025, while net income fell 50% to US$107 million. Adjusted property EBITDA declined to US$430 million in the quarter from US$566 million a year earlier, with first-half 2026 EBITDA broadly flat at US$1,063 million compared with US$1,101 million, underscoring margin pressure despite steady operational scale.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1928) stock is a Buy  
 with a HK$22.00 price target.
