Morningstar | Crown and Wynn Resorts Enter Takeover Discussions

We view Crown Resorts as a high-quality company offering both a defensive earnings quality and an attractive growth profile. Its Melbourne and Perth casinos have a proven track record of delivering resilient earnings, underpinned by long-dated licences. Each boasts a privileged position as the sole casino operator in the relevant state and, as a result of unrelenting reinvestment throughout the years, has built up scale that is likely to deter new entrants, in the unlikely event that further licences are granted. The company recently scrapped the majority of its international projects, in favour of fortifying its balance sheet and focusing on improving the domestic assets. The Crown Sydney development will be a key source of growth, leveraging both the rapidly growing Chinese middle class and Australia's attractiveness as a tourist destination.
