Macau casino bulls see stock rally extending as revenue grows
[HONG KONG] Macau casino stocks are poised to continue their recent outperformance as special events and luxury hotel offerings help drive a recovery in gross gaming revenue, sell-side analysts say. A Bloomberg Intelligence gauge of Macau gaming shares has risen 53 per cent from a low in April, compared with a 30 per cent gain in the Hang Seng Composite Index. That's come as monthly gaming revenue for the world's biggest gambling hub beat analyst expectations for each of the past three months. Despite lingering worries over China's economic health and regulatory issues, concerts by Cantopop icon Jacky Cheung and Korean rapper G-Dragon helped draw visitors. Eased travel policy and railway improvements are among the factors seen keeping the uptrend going. 'We expect the supportive visa regime, enhanced travel infrastructure and the expansion of nongaming offerings to drive robust gaming revenue growth in 2025,' Morningstar analyst Jennifer Song said in a presentation last month. 'Shares are appealing now given the sector's favourable long-term outlook.' US-listed shares of Melco Resorts & Entertainment is leading gains, up 95 per cent from its spring trough, followed by a 70 per cent rise in Hong Kong-listed MGM China Holdings. Yet sector valuations remain low, which Song sees supporting further upside for Macau casinos. The Bloomberg Intelligence index is trading at 8.7 times enterprise value to estimated forward earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, below its five-year average of about 14 times. Monthly revenue figures will provide further clues for investors. 'July is expected to be another above-trend month,' Jefferies Financial Group analyst Anne Ling wrote in a note earlier this month. 'The update from our sources and checks appears to substantiate the strong momentum in the stocks, which could continue.' BLOOMBERG

Jacky Cheung to perform first-ever concert in South Korea at Inspire Arena
Jacky Cheung will be bringing his celebrated "60+ Concert Tour" to South Korea this fall, marking his first time performing in the country. The performance will take place at Inspire Arena on Sept. 13, marking Cheung's debut concert in South Korea after more than four decades of international stardom. Tickets will be available starting July 22 via Nol Interpark Ticket and on July 23 through Cheung, 63, rose to fame after winning the 18th District Amateur Singing Festival in Hong Kong in 1984. His debut album "Smile," released a year later, set the stage for a prolific career that would see 14 of his albums certified platinum by the Hong Kong International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. Known as one of Hong Kong's 'Four Heavenly Kings,' Cheung's influence has spanned generations and borders, bolstered by iconic hits such as 1993's 'Goodbye Kiss.' Cheung even set a Guinness World Record in 2012 for the largest concert attendance in a 12-month period, reaching an estimated 2.04 million fans. The Seoul stop is part of Cheung's 10th world tour, which began in 2023 and is scheduled to run through 2026. The tour has already seen sold-out performances across Asia, including in Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Cheung's Seoul concert will feature a 53-piece symphony orchestra and a 20-member ballet troupe, blending grand classical aesthetics with cabaret-style staging, retro set designs and vintage cars. The show's theme, 'flowing forward with flexibility like water,' reflects the artist's introspective approach to life and performance in his 60s. Inspire will offer direct shuttle services for attendees, conveniently connecting the resort, Incheon Airport and major areas of Seoul. On concert day, a dedicated shuttle will also operate between AREX Cargo Terminal Station and the venue.

Jacky Cheung adds 3 more encore concerts in Singapore; Shanmugam says Singapore will not tolerate those who see animal cruelty as a game: Singapore live news
Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam, in an interview with CNA, has reiterated Singapore's strong position against those who deliberately harm animals. His comments come following a spate of community cat deaths earlier this year which alarmed the public. The People's Action Party (PAP) announced on 10 July new leaders for all 12 of its government parliamentary committees (GPCs). The fresh slate of MPs will head the PAP's backbench committees that scrutinise government policy. Read more in our live blog below, including the latest local and international news and updates. Jacky Cheung has added three more shows to the Singapore leg of his 60+ Concert Tour set for the Singapore Indoor Stadium in November this year. The Hong Kong Heavenly King will stage shows on 28, 29 and 30 November in addition to the previously announced shows on 21, 22 and 23 November which have already sold out. Tickets for the additional three shows – priced between $168 and $388 – will be available for general sale on 23 July at 10am. Priority sales will be made available earlier. More details in ticketing can be found at Ticketmaster. In February, the legendary performer set an incredible record of 1000 concerts in total following the completion of a performance in Haikou. Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam said there is "no question" about Singapore's position against those who deliberately harm animals. Shanmugam, in an interview with CNA on 8 July, punctuated the government's zero-tolerance approach to acts of animal cruelty while also speaking of the need to educate the public on responsible pet ownership. The Minister for Home Affairs was reflecting on a number of recent community cat deaths earlier this year which sparked concern amongst the public. "What you want is to go after the people with malice – who go out to be cruel to animals, who think that it's a sport, who think that it's a game," said Shanmugam. He also pointed out the need for targeted enforcement to ensure that pet owners who are "well-meaning" but make mistakes without cruel intent, are not dealt with in the same way. This week, a man who was convicted of killing cats by throwing them from HDB blocks had his jail term doubled after the prosecution appealed. You can read more of CNA's interview with Shanmugam, here. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said its enforcement officers detected 232 active mobility offences and impounded 151 non-compliant devices over the last two months. Enforcement operations were carried out across Singapore and offences ranged from using power-assisted bicycles (PABs) with improper or missing registration plates, riding or keeping illegally modified PABs, and riding bicycles without working handbrakes. LTA enforcement officers worked with police officers from Marina Bay, Punggol, and Geylang Neighbourhood Police Centres to target large group gatherings of active mobility users over the school holidays. In a Facebook post, LTA issued a reminder that "first-time offenders caught using improper or obscured PAB number plates may face fines up to $1,000 and/or 3 months' jail. Those using non-compliant devices on paths face up to $10,000 fine and/or 6 months jail." Two people were taken to hospital after an accident involving a trailer, a van and two cars on the AYE on 10 July. The accident, which occurred near the Clementi Avenue 6 exit at about 11.10am, led to lane closures and a massive jam on the expressway. The police revealed that a 45-year-old male van driver and a 45-year-old car driver were conscious when taken to the hospital. Police investigations are ongoing. The original Birkin bag made by French luxury brand Hermès for celebrity Jane Birkin has sold for a record €8.58 million (S$12.83 million) at an auction on 10 July. It has become the most expensive handbag ever sold at auction and is considered the second most expensive fashion item after a pair of ruby red slippers from 'The Wizard of Oz' went for €30 million last year. The final buyer was a "private collector from Japan' said auction house Sotheby's, without giving further details. Former Hermès artistic director Jean-Louis Dumas was inspired to create the now beloved Birkin handbag after he happened to be seated next to the actress on an Air France flight in 1981. A modern-day Birkin bag by Hermès can easily set you back over US$10,000 (S$12,800). A new business is offering Singaporeans the chance to buy and store performance and luxury cars in Johor. Carlogy Malaysia, a Johor-based company, is co-founded by Singaporean Heeraj Sharma. "I looked into this and found out that foreign-ownership of vehicles in Malaysia was legal and it was possible for Singaporeans to buy, provided the cars are not driven into Singapore," he said in an interview with the Malay Mail. "So, this gave me an idea for offering such services as a business that can cater to both Singaporeans and even Malaysians." Carlogy currently serves over 80 customers – with most coming from Singapore where car ownership is expensive. The company's storage facility in Skudai claims to have 24/7 security and offers customers the option to monitor their vehicles remotely through real-time CCTV feeds. "Unlike in Singapore, recreational driving in Malaysia is also an exciting prospect as there are so many places that our customers can explore,' Heeraj said. The People's Action Party (PAP) has revealed a fresh slate of 12 MPs will make-up of its government parliamentary committees (GPCs) for the 15th term of Parliament. Here are the PAP's new GPC chairpersons: Alex Yam (Culture, Community and Youth) Yip Hon Weng (Defence and Foreign Affairs) Sharael Taha (Digital Development and Information) Darryl David (Education) Saktiandi Supaat (Finance and Trade and Industry) Mariam Jaafar (Health) Yeo Wan Ling (Manpower) Vikram Nair (Home Affairs and Law) Henry Kwek (National Development) Xie Yao Quan (Social and Family Development) Poh Li San (Sustainability and the Environment) Tin Pei Ling (Transport) You can read more details in the report by ST, here.
