An update from Melco Resorts & Entertainment ( (MLCO) ) is now available.

Melco Resorts & Entertainment reported unaudited first-quarter 2026 results on April 30, 2026, with total operating revenue rising 11% year-on-year to US$1.37 billion, driven mainly by stronger mass market performance. Operating income increased to US$179 million, adjusted property EBITDA climbed to US$381 million, and net income attributable to the company more than doubled to US$76.8 million, reflecting improved profitability across its core portfolio.

In Macau, City of Dreams, Studio City and Altira delivered higher revenue and EBITDA, with margins improving as mass-market gaming and non-gaming operations strengthened. City of Dreams Manila posted EBITDA growth despite competitive and macro headwinds, while City of Dreams Mediterranean and its Cyprus satellite casinos saw revenue growth but lower EBITDA as Middle East conflict from late February weighed on tourism, highlighting geographic diversification benefits alongside regional risk exposures for investors and other stakeholders.

Spark’s Take on MLCO Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, MLCO is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by improving operating results and stronger free cash flow, supported by a positive earnings call (growth momentum, solid liquidity, and debt paydown). Offsetting these are significant balance-sheet risk (high leverage and negative equity) and weak technicals with the price still below key moving averages.
