Galaxy’s 3Q25 normalised adjusted EBITDA rose 5% qoq, but Typhoon Ragasa decreased the EBITDA by HK$140m. In Oct 25, the company delivered good performance, driven by robust visitations and an unusual win rate in the VIP segment, with this momentum continuing into Nov 25. Looking ahead, management expects 4Q25 to perform slightly above normal seasonality, supported by the top premium mass and VIP segments. Maintain BUY; cut target price by 4% to HK$47.00 (previously HK$49.00).

Macau’s Sep 25 GGR was MOP$18.3b, down 17% mom but up 6% yoy, recovering to 83% of 2019’s level. This missed market consensus by 3%, largely due to Super Typhoon Ragasa forcing a 33-hour closure of all casinos and disrupting entry points. However, we expect October to be another strong month due to the Golden Week holiday. We hence raise our full-year GGR forecast by 1% to MOP$245b, implying 8% yoy growth and 84% recovery to 2019’s level. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
