Despite ongoing hopes for a longer tail effects of Macau casinos, the Lunar New Year (LNY) performance was moderate, and Morgan Stanley was concerned about profit pressure from promotional activities at various casinos, according to Morgan Stanley's research report.

On the positive side, Macau's GGR performance is better than other Chinese consumers, with no AI risks; also, continuous growth in cash flow and dividend makes casinos' valuations attractive.
