Wynn Resorts, Limited WYNN reported first-quarter 2025 results, with earnings and revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top and bottom lines declined on a year-over-year basis.
Management highlighted potential tariff-related pressures on operations. While the direct impact on operating expenses is expected to be minimal, mainly affecting the U.S. food and beverage segment, the company is actively pursuing alternative sourcing solutions. Additionally, the company acknowledged the broader economic uncertainty posed by tariffs and their potential to dampen consumer demand.

Recent Consumer Discretionary Releases
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. NCLH reported first-quarter 2025 results, with earnings and revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Both the top and bottom lines decreased on a year-over-year basis.
Results in the quarter were hurt by a 2% decline in Capacity Days, stemming from a higher number of Berths out of service due to larger ships undergoing dry-dock, as well as a strategic move to reduce passenger air participation rates. For 2025, Norwegian Cruise anticipates occupancy to be approximately 102.5% compared with the prior guidance of 103.4% and Capacity Days to be about 24.545 million.
MGM Resorts International MGM reported first-quarter 2025 results, with earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top and the bottom lines declined from the prior-year quarter’s level.

MGM Resorts stated progress on the $200 million EBITDA enhancement plan and expects more than $150 million to be realized in 2025.
Caesars Entertainment, Inc. CZR reported mixed first-quarter 2025 results, with earnings missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues surpassing the same. Nonetheless, both the top and bottom lines improved on a year-over-year basis.
