I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.HSBC Global Investment Research issued a research report stating that Macau GGR for the first 23 days of August reached MOP16.65 billion, with average daily GGR of about MOP724 million, up 11% MoM but down 2% YoY. Among this, Macau's average daily GGR last week was MOP714 million, as a decline in VIP betting volume offset the impact of a slight increase in win rate.
The broker forecast that if average daily GGR for the remaining days of this month ranges between MOP680 million and MOP740 million, full-month August GGR will range between MOP22.1 billion and MOP22.6 billion, flat YoY to up 2% YoY. Assuming normal seasonal trends in September and with GGR expected to decline about 10% MoM, it believes 3Q26 GGR will range from a 1% YoY decline to a 1% YoY increase.
