Morningstar | Star's Earnings Will Come Under Pressure When Crown Sydney Comes Online

During recent years, The Star Entertainment Group has enjoyed robust trading conditions and reaped the benefits of its Sydney facility refurbishment. However, the longer-term investment case is clouded by competitive threat looming on the horizon, in the form of Crown Sydney. The company is also facing a significant capital expenditure hump as it embarks on a major development project in Brisbane, a much-needed investment into the Gold Coast facility, and further refurbishment of Sydney. We believe there remains considerable upside to the current earnings base, and the consequential improvement in cash flow and the already solid balance sheet are supportive of the major capital projects. Partners have been lined up to share the burden in developing the recently won Queen's Wharf integrated casino-hotel project in Brisbane; however, execution risk remains.
