Las Vegas Sands - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

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.

Bear Case

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

  • Insider selling activity, with a total of 203,732 shares sold in the last ninety days, could signal potential concerns about the company's short-term performance or outlook.
  • The casino and resort industry remains highly sensitive to economic fluctuations and regulatory changes, which could impact Las Vegas Sands Corp.'s profitability and growth prospects.
  • Despite recent growth in institutional holdings, the company still faces competition from other gaming operators, which could affect market share and revenue growth.
  • Ongoing geopolitical tensions and travel restrictions in Asia may hinder the recovery of tourism, directly impacting Las Vegas Sands Corp.'s operations and revenue streams.
  • The high level of insider ownership (0.91%) may limit the liquidity of shares, potentially making it more challenging for investors to buy or sell large quantities without affecting the stock price.
