In other recent news, Stifel, a financial services company, has maintained a Hold rating on Monarch Casino & Resort shares. The firm has also increased the price target for the company from $72.00 to $77.00. Stifel's decision was influenced by Monarch Casino's strong third-quarter adjusted EBITDA, which exceeded expectations by 6%. This surge in performance was due to stable trends across the company's two properties.
The Atlantis (WA:ATSP) Casino Resort in Reno has seen measured growth, with factors such as robust economic conditions in Reno playing a significant role. In contrast, the Black Hawk property has consistently seen an increase in its adjusted EBITDA, driven by increased local awareness and a larger share of the Denver area's mid-to-high net-worth gaming market.
Stifel's outlook for Monarch Casino & Resort remains cautiously optimistic, underlining the company's leading market position, a debt-free balance sheet, and consistent return of capital to shareholders. However, the firm suggests that the stock may continue to trade within a narrow range until there is an improvement in regional gaming fundamentals or a reduction in competitive challenges in Reno.
