[ET Net News Agency, 9 October 2018] Citi Research lowered its target price for Melco
International Development (00200) to HK$25 from HK$27, and maintained its "buy" rating.
The research house said Melco is trading at a deep 46% NAV discount.
Citi expects MLCO (Melco Resorts & Entertainment) to report 3Q revenue of US$1,232m
(-11% YoY and flat QoQ) and property EBITDA of US$338m (-15% YoY and -5% QoQ). It expects
CoD's EBITDA to be largely flat QoQ at US$172m, reflecting low hold rates, the early
adoption of smoking ban at Bird Cage and the 14th month staff bonus (~US$20m on our
estimates). (KL)
