Wynn Resorts Ltd (NASDAQ:WYNN) stock is continuing its recent rally, up 1.1% at $106.60, after Friday's announcement that the company received the first commercial gaming operator license in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Wynn Resorts faces challenges, including a $120m fine for unregistered money transfers, but these issues are unlikely to significantly impact its stock performance. Wynn's failure in the online gaming sector is not a bearish indicator; instead, its focus on high-margin projects like the UAE development is more promising. Macau's revenue recovery and Wynn's premium customer base are key bullish factors, with expectations of surpassing 2019 revenue levels by 2026.
