Melco Resorts (MLCO) Q1 Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates
Melco Resorts (MLCO) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.12 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.01 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.04 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 1,300%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this casino company would post earnings of $0.08 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.01, delivering a surprise of -112.50%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Melco , which belongs to the Zacks Gaming industry, posted revenues of $1.23 billion for the quarter ended March 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.76%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.11 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Melco shares have lost about 2.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -4.3%.
While Melco has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Melco: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.01 on $1.18 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.11 on $4.85 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Gaming is currently in the bottom 41% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Super League Enterprise (SLE), has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2025.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.30 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +70%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 22.2% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
Super League Enterprise's revenues are expected to be $2.23 million, down 47% from the year-ago quarter.

Why Meta Platforms Stock Soared on AI News Today
A media report stated that the company is planning major enhancements for its advertisers. This involves a notable expansion of AI functionalities. 10 stocks we like better than Meta Platforms › Many investors were jumping aboard Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) stock on Monday, so much so that the pricey social media company's shares rose by almost 4%. Much of this was a reaction to a media report stating that Meta would lean heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) to boost its revenue. The stock's rise easily trumped that of the S&P 500 index, which increased 0.4% on the day. Well before market open, The Wall Street Journal published an article asserting that Meta plans to offer its advertisers the chance to craft spots entirely with artificial intelligence (AI). Those users would be able not only to create every aspect of those ads but also to microtarget consumers by harnessing the technology. This would be a significant expansion of Meta's AI tool set, currently available to users but only for a limited set of ad enhancements. Citing unidentified "people familiar with the matter," the financial newspaper said the company aims to roll out the full suite of AI functionalities by the end of 2026. Meta has not yet officially commented on the report. Advertising is front and center of Meta's business as it forms nearly the entirety of its revenue. Assuming the Journal's report is accurate, the company's determined AI push is very encouraging. It shows that management clearly isn't resting on its laurels and is committing notable resources and effort into maintaining its already considerable ad dominance in the social media sphere. I would be very inspired by this news if I were a Meta shareholder.

Press release no. 3-2025 Copenhagen, June 3, 2025 Konsolidator launches financial data warehouse - Built for finance, not ITToday, Konsolidator announces the launch of its financial data warehouse, designed specifically for CFOs and finance teams. Built to tackle the data overload facing finance departments, the solution delivers structured, reliable data for reporting without relying on internal IT resources. Part of the product pillar from the company's 2025–2027 'Resilient Growth' strategy, the data warehouse utilizes Konsolidator's core expertise in financial reporting. A new foundation for financial dataKonsolidator's financial data warehouse taps into Konsolidator's existing experience in financial reporting. The purpose of Konsolidator's financial data warehouse is to give finance professionals a clean, structured view of their data, ready for reporting and decision-making. Finance teams today face a clear problem: too much data, from too many systems, and no clear way to use it. ERP systems, CRMs, spreadsheets, and planning tools provide complexity instead of insight. 'It's no longer about access to data—it's about making sense of it. You need a solution built for finance, not developers,' says Lars Højer Paaske, Head of Product at Konsolidator. A solution for teams without the internal IT resources The financial data warehouse is designed for finance teams who want control over their data, without needing internal or external IT experts to build and maintain infrastructure. Fully integrated with Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, the solution enables advanced analytics, transaction-level transparency, and automated reporting workflows. Many companies lack the internal expertise to build or maintain a data warehouse. Konsolidator's hosted solution has built-in governance, security, and compliance—so finance teams can focus on insight, not infrastructure. 2025-2027 strategy: Broader product offerings The financial data warehouse is, together with the upcoming FP&A tool, part of Konsolidator's broader 'Build, Buy or Partner' approach. It is one of four strategic pillars of the Resilient Growth strategy and the first step in launching The Konsolidator Suite—our new platform approach that gives finance teams end-to-end control over their data, from consolidation to reporting, and fits into a more holistic view of finance digital ecosystems. We're building solutions that make CFOs better with reliable data, not just in the monthly reporting, but to feed into the overall strategy. 'This is the first step into something bigger,' says CEO Claus Finderup Grove. 'We're moving beyond 'just being a consolidation product' to become a central part of the entire finance department. We believe finance teams already have the right skills and data—they just need the right tools to use it.'Contacts CEO: Claus Finderup Grove, mobile +45 2095 2988, cfg@ CFO: Jack Skov, mobile +45 2282 8845, js@ About KonsolidatorKonsolidator A/S is a financial consolidation software company whose primary objective is to make Group CFOs around the world better through automated financial consolidation and reporting in the cloud.

Deutsche Bank lifts S&P 500 year-end target amid Wall Street upgrade wave
(Reuters) - Deutsche Bank has raised its year-end target for the S&P 500 to 6,550 from 6,150, citing lower tariff-related earnings drag and a resilient economy, in a move that comes amid a broader wave of target upgrades by major Wall Street brokerages. This follows similar moves by Goldman Sachs and UBS Global Wealth Management, which raised their forecasts in May, with RBC Capital Markets joining the trend on Monday. "We now see the tariff drag at only about one-third of what we previously penciled in," Deutsche Bank strategists led by Binky Chadha wrote in a note on Monday. The new target is 10.35% above the S&P 500 index's last close of 5,935.94. The S&P 500 posted its strongest monthly gain since November 2023 in May, boosted by U.S. President Donald Trump's softer stance on tariffs, strong corporate earnings, and tame inflation data that helped markets recover from April's decline. Still, the European brokerage warned that the rally could be volatile, with potential pullbacks driven by renewed trade tensions. "We expect the rally to be punctuated by sharp pullbacks on repeated cycles of escalation and de-escalation on trade policy", the brokerage said. Deutsche also increased the estimate for the index's earnings per share to $267 from $240.
