# Weekly Recap | Las Vegas Sands +1.73%, most brokers rate it buy

## The Week

Las Vegas Sands (LVS) added 1.73% this week to close at $47.03, outpacing the S&P 500 which fell 1.43% — a relative outperformance of roughly 3.16 percentage points. The week was choppy: Monday started with a 1.73% drop, Tuesday was flat, and Wednesday saw a sharp recovery from the week’s low of $44.84 to finish 2.44% higher. Thursday gave back some ground before Friday’s rally pushed the stock to a weekly high of $47.03, leaving a bullish reversal pattern on the weekly chart.

## Key Events

This week’s headlines centred on LVS’s relative strength. On Wednesday and Friday, market dispatches highlighted the stock’s ability to advance even as the broader market struggled. The resilience was attributed to the defensive tilt of the casino sector and ongoing optimism around Macau’s recovery, though no fresh operational data or company announcements surfaced during the week.

## Analyst Ratings

Twenty brokers cover LVS: 11 rate it buy, 3 rate it over, and 6 rate it hold, with no sell or under ratings. The consensus rating is buy and the consensus target sits at $59.07, implying about 25.6% upside from the current price. The range is wide — from a low of $47.00 to a high of $71.50 — reflecting disagreement over the pace of Macau’s gross gaming revenue recovery. Within the Casinos & Gaming industry, LVS ranks 7th out of 29 peers.

## The Week Ahead

A busy macro calendar kicks off on Tuesday, 25 August, with FHFA house price data, the Case Shiller 20-city index, consumer confidence, and new home sales. Stronger-than-expected readings on housing and consumer sentiment could lift the consumer discretionary space, indirectly supporting the re-rating narrative for casino names.

## In Short

LVS put in a resilient week, climbing against a weak tape. The strength owes more to rotation into defensive pockets than to company-specific news. The analyst backdrop is favourable — a buy consensus and a target well above spot — but the ~18x P/E multiples aren’t deeply discounted. The next leg depends on whether macro data keeps the rotation alive and how upcoming monthly Macau figures shape recovery expectations.
