Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Las Vegas Sands Corp. stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Las Vegas Sands’ consistent efforts to boost tourism and traffic in Macao are yielding results, and the company’s portfolio therein is experiencing strong visitation of late. Focus on diversification and growth in the mass and non-gaming market in Macao also bode well and should aid margins. Going forward, the company is positive on its Cotai Strip portfolio of properties, buoyed by the addition of The Parisian Macao. The company’s share price performance compares similarly with the Zacks categorized Gaming industry in the past year. Yet, despite the improving gaming trends in Macao, the company’s properties therein predominantly had a dull quarter. Also, it will take some time for the region to return to its former glory as regulatory pressure builds and concerns related to the sustainability of revenues from the VIP market linger. Nonetheless, high occupancy rates in the Las Vegas properties should continue driving growth." (6/27/2017)
• 2. Aegis analysts commented, "We are tempering our CY17 Macau forecast to $2.34b from $2.42b and consensus of $2.48b. Our downward Macau revisions assume 1) the Macau recovery remains VIP and premium mass driven versus LVS' core mid-tier mass weighting; 2) LVS will likely look to maintain its peer-high mass market share this year, sacrificing some margin to do so and; 3) Galaxy Macau has made at least some gains in mid-tier mass of late and Wynn Palace has made gains in the premium mass segment (small potential QoQ market share erosion). Notably, LVS could emerge as an even stronger return of capital story later this year. Should a sale of its Sands Bethlehem Casino and partial sale of its Singapore Mall come to fruition, we believe the dividend story could become more evenly balanced with share repurchases. While our estimate tweaks are to the downside, we continue to view LVS as a core, long-term gaming holding and maintain our Buy rating." (3/22/2017)
• 3. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We are raising our 2017-2018 Macau property estimates by ~6% based on trends we have witnessed over the last six months and off our continued belief Macau fundamentals should continue to improve. In addition, we are slightly raising our out year margin assumptions based on a higher contribution from the mass side of the gaming business coupled with a higher degree of non-gaming spend in the market. Recall, we were just in Macau about a month ago and these estimate changes were something we wanted to make post our trip. However, given the noise around the UnionPay changes, we wanted to let the market settle and analyze if there would be any material negative impact. At this point, we don't believe there will be. Given the recent pullback in LVS and the other Macau operators, we still believe these are great names to own throughout 2017. Our target price goes to $66 (+$1), which is based on our revised 2018 sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) analysis." (1/17/2017)
• 4. Argus analysts commented, "We believe that LVS is well positioned in this segment, and expect it to benefit from its Integrated Resort business model, which includes hotels, convention centers, and retail stores, as well as casinos.Related Link: Stifel Offers Updates On Best Ideas In Gaming & Leisure"LVS is also focused on maintaining high occupancy at its Macau hotels. In addition, we expect investors to benefit from the company's highly profitable Singapore operations, $2 billion share buyback program, and 5.1 percent dividend yield." (9/14/2016)
