MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Las Vegas Sands Corp.:

  • Las Vegas Sands Corp. is currently trading at $40.64, which is near its 52-week low of $40.63, potentially offering a valuation entry point for investors who believe the stock is undervalued relative to its consensus price target of $59.84.
  • The company recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, which represents an annualized dividend yield of approximately 2.92%, providing a steady income stream for shareholders while the stock price remains depressed.
  • Las Vegas Sands Corp. reported a strong second quarter with earnings per share of $0.91, significantly beating the consensus estimate of $0.756, and revenue of $3.585 billion, which exceeded the consensus estimate of $3.318 billion, indicating robust operational performance in the most recent period.
  • Institutional investors have shown renewed interest in the stock, with several major funds increasing their stakes in the second quarter, such as Allianz Asset Management GmbH raising its position by 36.9% and Amundi increasing its stake by 14.5%, suggesting confidence in the company's long-term prospects.
  • The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 15.27, but it maintains a current ratio of 1.00 and a quick ratio of 0.99, indicating that it has sufficient short-term assets to cover its immediate liabilities, which provides a level of financial stability despite the high leverage.

Las Vegas Sands
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Las Vegas Sands Corp. for these reasons:

  • Las Vegas Sands Corp. recently missed its earnings expectations in the third quarter, reporting $0.59 in earnings per share compared to the consensus estimate of $0.76, and revenue of $3.15 billion, which fell short of the $3.31 billion consensus, leading to a decline in stock sentiment.
  • The stock has experienced a significant decline, hitting a new 52-week low of $40.63, and is trading well below its 50-day moving average of $45.70 and 200-day moving average of $49.93, indicating a strong downward trend in the recent period.
  • Short interest in Las Vegas Sands Corp. has increased, with shares shorted rising to 17,731,635 in the most recent reporting period, representing a 8.1% month-to-month increase, which suggests that a significant portion of investors are betting against the stock's future performance.
  • Several major analysts have recently downgraded their ratings or lowered their price targets for Las Vegas Sands Corp., including Jefferies Financial Group cutting its target from $52.00 to $47.00 and Bank of America reducing its target from $70.00 to $60.00, reflecting a more cautious outlook on the company's growth potential.
  • Insiders have been selling shares, with CEO Patrick Dumont selling 60,165 shares in March 2026 and other executives also reducing their holdings, which may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term upside from those closest to the company's operations.
