Deutsche Bank has reaffirmed its Buy rating on Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:WYNN) with a steady price target of $122.00.

The endorsement comes after the bank's analyst attended the WYNN Investor Day event held at Wynn Las Vegas. The event provided a detailed overview of Wynn Resorts' most significant development project since the launch of Wynn Cotai.

The analyst believes this project has enhanced the company's long-term value proposition.

The presentation included a broad overview of future projections for Wynn Resorts, with a focus on the financial potential of the company. Free cash flow (FCF) estimates, based on 2026 consensus forecasts, suggest a substantial yield of approximately $15-17 per share. This figure does not adjust for minority interests in Macau.

According to the analyst, Investor Day successfully achieved its goal of highlighting the development project as a key driver of future value for Wynn Resorts. The project was positioned as a transformative endeavor that could significantly influence the company's trajectory.

The bank's assessment suggests confidence in Wynn Resorts' strategic direction and its ability to deliver on its financial targets. The projected free cash flow figures provide a glimpse into the financial health and operational efficiency that Wynn Resorts could achieve in the near future.

In other recent news, Wynn Resorts has seen several significant developments. Financial research firm CFRA raised its price target for the company to $123, citing an expected return to normalized revenue and EBITDA.

CFRA also noted potential for upside if stimulus measures in China boost consumer spending. However, the firm lowered its adjusted EBITDA estimates for Wynn Resorts for 2024 and 2025.

Wynn Resorts successfully secured the first commercial gaming operator's license in the United Arab Emirates, marking a notable expansion into the UAE market. This aligns with the UAE's recent policy shift to legalize gambling to boost economic competitiveness.

Morgan Stanley upgraded Wynn Resorts from Equal-weight to Overweight, reflecting the company's growth potential in the UAE and adjusted the price target to $104. Wynn Resorts' indirect subsidiary, Wynn Macau (OTC:WYNMF), extended the maturity date of its outstanding loans to September 16, 2028, providing a longer timeframe to manage its financial obligations.

Lastly, shares of Chinese companies listed in the U.S., including Wynn Resorts, experienced a significant upswing following the announcement of substantial stimulus measures by Beijing.
