Better showing expected for gaming counters


Maybank IB said valuations remained attractive for gaming stocks.

Maybank Investment Bank Research (Maybank IB), which is positive on the overall sector, said in a report that while valuations remained attractive for gaming stocks, it expects earnings growth for Genting Malaysia Bhd, the operator of the Resorts World brand of integrated casinos and resorts, to be “pedestrian” as visitor arrivals had already recovered to 95% of pre-Covid-19 levels.
