【Brokerage Focus】CITIC SEC indicated that Macau's GGR in February is expected to show a "long tail effect."

Jinwu Financial News | CITIC SEC stated that in the first seven days before the Spring Festival holiday in 2025 (from the first to the seventh day of the first lunar month), the total inbound passenger flow to Macau has recovered to 98% of the same period in 2019, consistent with the expectations for Q4 2024. However, due to the high proportion of family travel in the Macau tourism market during the Spring Festival holiday, the gambling market has been experiencing "crowded but not profitable" conditions, leading to a noticeable adjustment in the sector due to slightly weaker gambling data. The firm observed a significant warming in demand after the Spring Festival holiday, with February GGR expected to show a "long tail effect", predicting that the combined GGR for January and February will remain flat compared to the same period in 2024. The firm believes that the recent sector adjustment has fully reflected this.
