Wynn Resorts
Wynn Resorts' revenue rose 0.1% to $7.1 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 15.7%, down from 15.9% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $692 million, down 31.2%. It paid out $555 million in dividends and buybacks, 80% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 5.5%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What Wynn Resorts does
Wynn Resorts builds and runs large resort hotels that combine casinos with luxury rooms, shops, restaurants, entertainment and convention space. It has four resorts: Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau in Macau, China, Wynn Las Vegas and Encore in Nevada, and Encore Boston Harbor in Massachusetts. Guests are gamblers, vacationers and groups attending meetings.
Its four resorts are its reporting segments, and it gets its money from casino gaming, hotel rooms, food and drink, retail space and entertainment. It owns about 72% of Wynn Macau, Limited, the company that runs its Macau resorts. Macau operators pay a special gaming tax of 35% of gross gaming revenue. Wynn Resorts competes with the other casinos in each market, including the 18 other casinos in Macau.
Its right to run casinos in Macau comes from a gaming concession (a government contract) that runs from 2023 to the end of 2032. It also owns a 40% stake in an unconsolidated resort, Wynn Al Marjan Island, which is under construction in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, and which it expects to open in 2027.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Weaker spending by guests if the economy slows, because casino resorts rely on discretionary spending.
- Depending on a small number of resorts for all of its cash flow.
- The Macau government could end its gaming concession without paying compensation if the terms are not met.
- Strict gaming regulation and licensing in Macau, Nevada and Massachusetts.
- Heavy debt and the chance that cash flow will not cover what it owes.

Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share
From fiscal 2016 to 2025, earnings per share grew 3.1% a year and net income 3.4% a year, as new shares raised the share count by 2% and diluted each share's earnings.

Valuation
Two ways to value Wynn Resorts yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Wynn Resorts' 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Wynn Resorts' fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $692M, net cash of −$9.2B at December 31, 2025 and 104 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Wynn Resorts: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 23.9% a year, kept between 0% and 20%; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 13%: 11% for a cyclical or higher-risk business (Casinos & Gaming), plus 1 point as a smaller company, worth $7.6B, plus 1 point for unsteady results (a loss in fiscal 2022); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target. A negative value means Wynn Resorts' net debt is larger than what that scenario's cash flows are worth today.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Wynn Resorts' earnings per share of $4.17 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 17.8×, the average of the Consumer Discretionary median and Wynn Resorts' own P/E today for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 14%, 13% and 12%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

Piotroski F-score
The F-score counts how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency a company passed in a year (Piotroski, 2000). The more tests passed, the stronger the year: 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Companies that report no gross profit are scored on the other eight.
